Mission

To unite critical infrastructure operators in a cross-sector alliance that strengthens national resilience, reduces systemic risk, and sustains continuity of the economy and national way of life.

Vision

A secure and resilient nation where critical infrastructure - public and private- operates as a coordinated defensive network capable of protecting against, adapting to, and deterring threats in crisis and conflict.

Core Values

Collective Resilience: Resilience is a joint responsibility across sectors and government. No sector stands alone: we share a common commitment to sustaining essential functions and economic resilience for communities, businesses, and national security.

Collaboration & Integrity in Crisis: Information sharing, joint planning, and coordinated action built on long-standing relationships and anchored in trust and accountability.

Coordinated Operational Response: Foster a systemic and transparent approach to collectively prepare for, mitigate, and respond to shared threats and hazards.

Evidence-Driven Action: Risk decisions are fact-based, grounded in data and intelligence, and informed by real-world incidents.
