Explain at least one key federal plan, strategy, or guidance released to date and how they have contributed to the current structure of critical infrastructure security and resilience.

Discussions work in this course need to be checked by Turnitin. A Turnitin report for your primary post each week must be generated before the work can be graded. These reports are generated by the student in the Assignments tool alongside posting to the actual Discussions tool each week. On the top navigation bar of the classroom, go to the Course Tools dropdown and select Assignments. Enter the Assignment titled ‘Discussions Turnitin Checker’, read the instructions, and upload and submit a Word document containing the text of your Discussions post for the week. When your Turnitin report is generated and you are satisfied, navigate back to the Discussions tool and the topic for the week to officially post your work normally for everyone to read and reply.
