information is the primary way of getting the data into the files. Automation of the population of metadata fields is desirable, and with new technologies this is achievable, however it should be ensured that the right information is going into an asset. If a user is searching for a specific thing, then the system should know that the result it returns is the right one, and often this can only be done by human intervention when adding metadata. To aid with this, certain machine readable metadata fields

for the vast majority of crucial infrastructure sectors. Within this sector are a diverse array of disciplines that serve and protect America’s critical infrastructure and the population of the area. A disruption of services would result in an overall failure within this sector that would result in a measurable loss of life, public health issues, significant economic loss and ultimately would have a domino effect of disruption to other areas of critical infrastructure that would be staggering to overall

1. Explain how the fundamentals concepts and principals of Risk Management apply at home, at work, in the community, and at critical infrastructure locations. Risk management at home is the steps we take, sometimes intuitively, in dealing with problems that might arise. Examples include setting the alarm, buying a generator, or locking the doors. Nevertheless all approach risk in different ways. While most people might set the alarm as they leave the house, fewer people might do so if they are at
oriented. Discounting cost, IPremier can engage a third party vendor to conduct a thorough risk assessment on their IT infrastructure. The Results of the risk assessment would give IPremier a list of prioritized threats to its infrastructure with suitable suggestions to mitigate the risk. A VA/PT (vulnerability assessment/Penetration testing) can also be conducted on their Infrastructure which would give a list of vulnerabilities that exist in their application and networks. Risk and vulnerability assessment
secure and protect our open borders, uphold all immigration laws, safeguard and secure cyberspace, and be content and resilient when it pertains to disasters. Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is a concept that relates to the preparedness and response to serious incidents that involve the critical infrastructure of a region or nation. Eliminating threats is impossible, so protecting against them without disrupting business innovation and growth is a
renovation of infrastructure is totally necessary, in order to facilitate and accelerate the growth period of many industries driving each specific country. The second reason that to choose Project Finance is due to the scope and the necessary means involved in making a successful venture in this type of activity: Project Finance involves not only major capital investments, covered most of the time by different lenders or syndicate groups, but also intense and extensive risk management which definitely
What is Risk Management?

fact that the decline of the condition of an infrastructure can result in the failure of the performance or serviceability. Preferably, condition assessments and performance assessments are collected multiple times throughout a number of years from the same section of the asset. The information attained from the condition assessment and the performance assessments can be used to make predictions of the future condition and performance of the assets. The information from these assessments is typically
INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY Asset Management involves the corresponding of costs, opportunities and risks against the desired performance of assets, to achieve the organizational objectives. This harmonizing power need to be considered over different time frames. Asset also enables an organization to examine the need for, and performance of, assets and asset systems at various levels. Additionally, it enable the application of analytical approaches towards managing an asset over the different stages

(IT) assets. Gartner's IT Key Metrics Data for 2010 which was based on a survey of companies worldwide found that a company spent 5% of their IT budget on IT Security (Kirk, 2010). Connie Guglielmo, a Forbes staff member noted that IT spending will hit $2 Trillion in 2013 and Worldwide IT spending will rise 4.6 percent this year (Guglielmo, 2013). There is no doubt that some portion of the IT budget will be spent on a technology solution for the purpose of defending the IT infrastructure. The
world merchandise is transported by sea. This infrastructure system is a key to other sectors and business activities like ship manufacturing, fisheries, banking, insurance, transport and tourism. With this great impact a sustainability program should be addressed highlighting relevant issues for sustainable development. A strategic importance to achieve sustainable maritime transport system is to give a great emphasis of the transportation infrastructure. The port of Tripoli is projected to become
corporation perception's “core competence” as “the collective learning in the organization, especially how to coordinate diverse production skills and integrate multiple streams of technologies.” Here again, it focuses on intangible and not tangible assets as a basis for competitive advantage in choosing and executing corporate strategy (Barney and Arikan, 2001). Furthermore, the core competencies relate to harmonizing streams of technology, the organizational work, and the delivery of value. Therefore
to the Philippine’s move towards development, the increase in government spending is inevitable. This requires a source for a larger budget which can be funded by selling assets.

Infrastructure - Infrastructure personnel (i.e., military personnel, volunteers, etc.) were responsible for post-disaster rehabilitation. They cleared debris from the roads, streets, and airport landings that occurred during the initial earthquake and its aftershocks. They also assessed and demolished unstable structures and helped with the reconstruction of buildings, bridges, and roads. Medical - Medical personnel (i.e., paramedics, doctors, etc.) from the local, regional, or national government
Airport asset management strategies, plans and for the development consideration it is essential to have outputs from the assets, both now and in the future. Asset management plans make use of master arrangement and other airport planning action outputs to determine what the assets need to do in order to sustain these plans. Which includes understanding the imminent malfunction modes in terms of levels of service, guideline, ability and physical failure. The management of renewal and operations maintenance
