During the RSA Panel entitled "Securing Critical Networks: Infrastructure Exposed" on April 23 of 2009, Matt Luallen mentioned specific recommendations to protect our critical infrastructure and the need to further elaborate upon this message.  This whitepaper serves as the vehicle for this elaboration.  Critical infrastructure protection requires unparalleled expertise in the fundamentals of cyber security, physical security and the CI/KR operational requirements.  Expertise that typically affords professionals the ability to delineate between what they know and what they do not know and more importantly the confidence to express to their peers a level of ignorance.
