The purpose of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is to secure the infrastructure of organizations in critical industries, such as agriculture, energy, food, and transportation, against cyber threats, natural disasters, and terrorist threats.

CIP aims to protect critical infrastructures such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, industrial control systems (ICS), and operational technology (OT).

The 16 major sectors considered critical to national infrastructure are: Chemical, Commercial facilities, Communications, Critical manufacturing, Dams, Defense industrial base, Emergency services, Energy, Financial services, Food and agriculture, Government facilities, Healthcare and public health, Information technology, Nuclear reactors, materials, and waste, Transportation systems, and Water and wastewater systems.
