Having basic requirements and guidelines such as these is crucial in building public trust and support for our critical infrastructure. In the event of an attack on something as crucial as water supplies, there should be a swift and strong response that mitigates the damages as quickly as possible.

Preparing for potential bio terrorism attacks will hopefully prevent something similar from happening.

Knowing which assets to spend more company resources protecting also increases company efficiency.
