Retired Colonel Jeffrey Gaynor, currently Founder and CEO of American Resilience LLC, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss -Building A Resilient Nation.

Overview – Building A Resilient Nation

As security risks from cyberspace merge and converge with geospace and space, building a Resilient Nation has never been more important for individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) than it is now.

Why do we need to build a Resilient Nation?

As we see today, the heightened risk and fragility from cyberspace is threatening to reverse major developmental gains across cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). So, the question is if nations are to protect their hard-fought progress and development in CGS, how should they build resilience to any and all disasters that may emerge?

How can we build a Resilient Nation?

To begin with, we need to understand that Risk, Resilience, and Security walk hand in hand—and nations will thrive when all of its components know how to build resilience.

The time is now to talk about Building A Resilient Nation!

About the Guest:

Colonel Jeffrey’s National Security experience ranges from foxholes to the White House. He is a national thought leader, advocate, and consultant for the application of operationally proven and objectively measurable resilience-based infrastructure, business and community preparedness policies, and application of their nationally comprehensive, compatible, and proven mindsets, metrics, methodologies, and technologies across the spectrum of American life.

In addition to his current position at American Resilience, LLC as Founder and CEO; Jeff is an alumnus of George Washington University’s Homeland Security Policy Institute, is a member of the Executive Advisors Committee of the Council on Competitiveness, and is the Immediate Past President and CEO of the FBI’s InfraGard National Members Alliance. Jeff Gaynor’s National Security experience ranges from foxholes to the White House.  

Understanding critical infrastructure as both a National enabler and disabler, in early 2005 Jeff created and directed the Critical Infrastructure Task Force (CITF) of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). The HSAC’s review of U.S. critical Infrastructure preparedness policies and programs identified the interdependencies, increasing exploitability and consequence amplifying conditions of America’s critical infrastructures and assessed the shortcomings of protection-focused critical infrastructure policies and programs.

In the wake of the otherwise preventable tragedy ascribed to Hurricane Katrina, in January 2006, the HSAC recommended the Homeland Security Secretary “raise the [infrastructure and national] preparedness bar” and: “Promulgate critical infrastructure resilience (CIR) as the top-level strategic objective—the desired outcome—to drive national policy and planning.”

In converting the HSAC’s recommendation to results, Jeff is a national thought leader, advocate, and consultant for the application of operationally proven and objectively measurable resilience-based infrastructure, business, and community preparedness policies and application of their nationally comprehensive, compatible, and proven mindsets, metrics, methodologies, and technologies across the spectrum of American life.  

Jeff is a combat veteran and (among others) is the recipient of the Silver Star, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and multiple awards of the Bronze Star Medal. He is also the recipient of the Combat Infantryman’s, Joint Staff, and Presidential Staff Identification Badges and two awards of the Department of Defense Exceptional Civilian Service Medal.

Risk Group: Risk Roundup Initiative

Risk Roundup, a global initiative launched by Risk Group, is a security risk podcast for emerging technologies risks and risks from technology convergence and transformation happening across cyberspace, geospace and space.

As existing and emerging technologies merge and converge to make the once unachievable possible, it is not only human and machine intelligence that will join to create unthinkable possibilities, the likes of molecular manufacturing and synthetic biology will also bring earth-shattering potential to build virtually any biological, physical, and/or chemical item quickly and inexpensively, directly from pure information and/or organisms—creating complex risks and challenges for everyone.

Each one of us has a role to play in managing the complex independent and interdependent strategic security risks facing our nations.

Get involved in managing your nation’s strategic security risks for the future of humanity.
