Threat agents

Another example is the Canadian government, which has purchased the same technology to run a pilot for an early warning and response system for biological agent threats. Initially limited to Winnipeg, the system s goal is to create a readiness network for front-line health care workers.

Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents Threat Spectrum... 

On the battlefield, knowledge of the chemical or biological agent threat and its medical and physical countermeasures can actually reduce the threat. In World War I, the death rate for chemical casualties was about 3%. Data are not available for the Iran-Iraq War, but informal reports indicate that the death rate for those chemical casualties who reached medical care was probably less than 5%, despite the use of the highly toxic nerve agents against rela-... 

Vulnerabilities Threat Agent Threat Mode Threat Effect Attack Probability... 

Threat mode classifies the way in which vulnerabilities are exploited. Vulnerabilities can be exploited in various ways, each with different effects and prerequisites. Potential threat modes depend on the system and on the capabilities of the threat agent. Threat modes can be simple like jamming a connection or elaborate operations such as exploiting an injection flaw vulnerability, which requires access to the input system and sending an exactly formulated input signal. In general, this can be mapped to a violation of a security attribute.

The potential benefit of symptom-based recognition is that disease trends may be identified before laboratories begin to report positive cultures. Case-based surveillance networks operate throughout Europe and are capable of detecting bioterrorist agent threats.
