U.S. Critical Infrastructure & National Security Consultants & Consulting Solutions

Knox Defense Group provides advisory and consulting services for organizations seeking to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient infrastructure and supporting systems. 

There are 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof. Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21): Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience advances a national policy to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. This directive supersedes Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7.

Knox Defense Group is a trusted partner, working in collaboration with organizations for ensuring implementation of the following critical infrastructure initiatives:

  • Risk Assessment and Management: Help organizations identify and assess the risks and vulnerabilities associated with their critical infrastructure. This involves conducting comprehensive risk assessments, evaluating potential threats, analyzing potential consequences, and developing risk mitigation strategies.

  • Security Planning and Implementation: Assist organizations in developing and implementing security plans that encompass physical security, cybersecurity, access controls, monitoring systems, incident response, and crisis management. We help design and implement security measures to protect critical infrastructure assets from threats such as terrorism, natural disasters, and cyberattacks.

  • Compliance and Regulatory Support: We stay up to date with relevant regulations, standards, and industry best practices. Specifically, we help organizations navigate complex compliance requirements and ensure adherence to applicable regulations, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, DHS CISA guidelines, or sector-specific regulations.

  • Business Continuity and Resilience: Work with organizations to develop and enhance their business continuity and resilience capabilities. This includes developing strategies, plans, and procedures to ensure the continuity of critical operations during disruptions or emergencies.

  • Training and Exercises: Provide training and conduct exercises to enhance the preparedness and response capabilities of organizations and their personnel. This may include tabletop exercises, simulations, and training programs focused on incident response, crisis management, and cybersecurity awareness.

  • Public-Private Partnerships: Facilitate collaboration and coordination between public and private entities involved in critical infrastructure. They assist in establishing partnerships, sharing best practices, and fostering information sharing to enhance the overall security and resilience of critical infrastructure networks.

Knox Defense Group brings specialized knowledge and experience in assessing and mitigating risks specific to critical infrastructure sectors. We stay abreast of emerging threats, evolving technologies, and regulatory changes to provide organizations with tailored solutions and strategies to protect their critical assets and maintain essential services.
