The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designated 18 industries as critical infrastructure. This categorization reflects the fact that the compromise of any of these industries could pose significant threats to the well-being of the nation or human life. Critical infrastructure therefore forms the backbone of the nation's economy. DHS recognizes a major shortfall in highly trained Cybersecurity professionals this area of critical infrastructure.
