Security within the Critical Infrastructure
There are 16 sectors covering the critical infrastructure domain within the United States. The scope, extent, and reliance across the domain is something the team at Lares fully understands. We provide critical thinking across all of the safety and security issues within each one, and critically within the interconnects many of them rely upon for ongoing functionality. We consider it a crucial part of the organization and are committed to working within this domain both directly and with supporting efforts within the state, federal, local, and national government and military teams.
