This week’s materials focus on Healthcare & Public Health (HPH), Transportation Systems, and Emergency Services (ESS)—each facing unique risks and resilience strategies. Your task is to select one of those 3 sectors and address all four of the following:

Identify two major risks or vulnerabilities unique to your chosen sector (e.g., cyber threats in hospitals; runway incursions at airports; surge capacity in emergencies). Use Chapter 11 of Pesch‑Cronin & Marion and the video “Beyond Prevention: Detecting and Responding to Cyberthreats.”

Explain how the sector currently assesses and manages these risks, referencing risk assessment tools or frameworks like THIRA (ESS), MASSRA (Transportation), or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework tiers (HPH).

Incorporate a recent real-world incident where a threat was realized—find a credible news article from 2024 or 2025 describing an event in your chosen sector. Summarize the incident, its impact, and how the sector’s risk and response mechanisms performed. Example: the June 14 security threat at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, which prompted a runway shutdown and coordination among FAA and airport emergency units .

Recommend one improvement (legislative, technological, training, funding, or policy) that would strengthen resilience in your sector, drawing from your readings, the incident, and response frameworks.

Requirements:

Cite Pesch‑Cronin & Marion Chapter 11 and at least one other this week’s source (video or readings)

Include and cite a 2025 news article describing a real threat/event in your chosen sector (provide link or full citation)

References:
Pesch‑Cronin & Marion Chapter 11 and at least one other this week’s source (video or readings)

Note: Ensure all references are cited with page numbers.
