Which asset list identifies assets that must be defended?

• A. Defended Asset List
• B. Critical Asset List
• C. Balanced Asset List
• D. Asset Allocation List

Answer: (A)

In protection planning, you identify the assets that must be defended. The Defended Asset List is the tool that pinpoints those assets and drives what protection is required and where to allocate defensive resources. This makes defense planning concrete, ensuring these items receive priority under threat. A Critical Asset List identifies assets essential to mission continuity, but it doesn’t automatically define the requirement to defend them. The other terms describe allocation or balance and don’t designate which assets must be defended.
