In the face of emerging risks to economic and national security, action is needed to address crucial regional infrastructure interdependencies in energy, telecommunications, transportation, water systems and other infrastructures. Third in a three year series meant to develop an Idaho Partnership for Infrastructure Security, the workshop advances several cross-sector initiatives. 

One of the outcomes of these meetings was the creation of a stakeholder-prioritized action plan for the state of Idaho that is a culmination of recommendations from workshops, projects, and activities over the past three years. Stakeholders identified these recommendations as high priorities for the state. Recommendations include

• Develop training materials and a cyber resource website for the State of Idaho
• Continue to host annual statewide Cyber Interdependencies Workshops
• Develop a public-private information sharing platform to send alerts, warnings, and share updates with vetted, trusted stakeholders across the state.
