Attacks on critical infrastructure can cause fatalities, injuries, and economic disruption, highlighting the need for mitigation efforts to reduce risk. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) created several security planning products to support stakeholders with mitigating the threats on public gathering events and public business locations. The Securing Public Gatherings (SPG) Workshop provides public and private stakeholders with security considerations related to the mitigation of risk, with a particular focus on small to medium-sized organizations.
