"DHS has established the ...HITRAC to develop products to help inform infrastructure owners and operators of any threats they may potentially face, as well as to better inform their security planning and investment decisions. HITRAC is currently working in partnership with industry to develop an updated threat assessment for the chemical sector detailing plausible terrorist threats on a sector basis. This effort includes available intelligence as well as operational tactics, techniques, and procedures derived from study of overseas terrorist operations". (DHS/Stephan, June 15, 2005, p. 3) "The Department's Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center (HITRAC) conducts all-source intelligence research and analysis to assess the potential threat to critical infrastructure and key resources across the Nation, as well as develop lessons learned products derived from attacks on commercial venues abroad. HITRAC's goal is to provide owners and operators of CIKR with strategically relevant and actionable information on threats they face, primarily from terrorists. HITRAC conducts outreach to both private sector and public sector partners through classified and unclassified threat briefings to members of private sector coordinating councils; government coordinating councils; State and local officials; and individual companies".
