CISA Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP)

Thursday February 20, 2025 11:20am - 12:05pm CST

The CISA Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP) primarily focuses on physical security but also includes cybersecurity elements where critical infrastructure resilience is concerned.
The RRAP is a voluntary, non-regulatory assessment that helps identify vulnerabilities and dependencies across critical infrastructure sectors (e.g., energy, water, transportation). While its primary focus is physical security and operational resilience, it increasingly integrates cybersecurity considerations, given the interconnected nature of physical and digital threats.

There is an ever-growing public concern for the safety of our schools. As a result, there are many products comings into the marketplace that do not meet the already established code requirements. In this presentation, we will look at typical openings in an educational environment and discuss what you need to know and think about regarding security products, concerns about barricade devices, and touchless solutions. We will discuss the many special openings in a school such as sound doors, overhead roiling doors, teacher cabinets, and many other unique requirements in an education environment.
