Agenda Topic Overview -

Speaker:  Liz Filauri

"Information Analysis, Sharing, and Coordination"

Terrorists strive to exploit national weaknesses and search for unprotected areas to attack. Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP) helps deter, prevent, and mitigate acts of terrorism by assessing vulnerabilities in the context of continuously changing threats. IAIP strengthens the nation's protective posture and disseminates timely and accurate information to our federal, state, local, private, and international partners. Representatives from IAIP will discuss how IAIP analyzes, shares, and coordinates information.
