Overview

In a constantly changing and complex operating environment, perfectly accurate forecasts about the future are an impossibility. Instead, exploring alternative futures and potential drivers of change is a potent technique for managing uncertainty and improving decision-making to enhance our national capacity to ensure security, economic vitality, and public health and safety.

To build a more resilient and secure future, the Secure Tomorrow Series is a strategic foresight capability focused on identifying emerging and evolving risks that could significantly affect the nation’s critical infrastructure in the next 5 to 20 years in order to analyze, prioritize, and manage those drivers of risk to steer towards a preferred future.

 

CISA’s Role

The goal of CISA’s Secure Tomorrow Series is to build understanding of challenges that may affect the strategic operating environment, identify potential risk mitigation strategies, and apply this knowledge to promote methods that create more resilient critical infrastructure systems in the long-term.

The effort aligns with the National Critical Functions (NCFs) risk management framework which looks at improving resilience across the Nation’s critical infrastructure ecosystem in a more targeted, prioritized, and strategic manner. Using the NCF Framework, CISA is working to understand what entities come together to support/enable critical functions, and what assets, systems, networks, and technologies underpin those functions.
