Threats and vulnerabilities

Feature 3. Assess vulnerabilities and periodically review and update vulnerability assessments to reflect changes in potential threats and vulnerabilities. 

Support for research and development in security, aiming at threat and vulnerability reduction, should be a key element in the national R D support program and should be linked to the broader strategy for improved network and information security. Likewise, the national standardization organizations should accelerate their work on interoperability, certification, electronic signatures, further development and deployment of IPv6 and IPSec, and should also review and promote the use of all relevant security standards, including but not limited to the Common Criteria for Information Systems Assurance.

Chapter 2 provides an extensive discussion of the threats and vulnerabilities associated with the employment and effects of biological and chemical threat agents by terrorists. The chapter strives to educate the reader on the relationships among risk (potential for exposure), vulnerability (weakness or situation predisposing one to exposure) and threat as they relate to effectively responding to and countering such an attack Vulnerability + Risk = Threat.

This article will investigate a methodology for assessing threats and vulnerabilities to a maritime transportation system, where LNG transportation is used as a case. The Industrialized world, thereby including the European Union, USA, Korea and Japan, is increasingly dependent on imported natural gas, whereof an increasing share of these imports is liquefied natural gas [LNG].

Definition explanation Conduits are used for protection of communication assets, that is, applicable for communication processes. Conduits are responsible for physical and logical grouping of communication assets. As the name suggests it protects the security of channels comprising physical cormection data, etc. Like a pipe it cormects various zones and assets. In lACS, conduits are like network elements such as switches, routers, etc. Conduits can group two dissimilar network technologies. Conduits analyze communication threats and vulnerabilities.

Often the creation of a chart or matrix will help professionals in determining threats and vulnerabilities to information (Table 7.1). Either qualitatively or quantitatively, educators can value information and the threat vulnerability (Elky, 2006). 

The data from an accurate risk assessment of information value, threats, and vulnerabilities will provide the educator the ability to identify, select, and implement appropriate security measures. This does not require that the educator be an expert in safeguarding information, but it does assume that the educator has knowledge of information and knows when to provide a proportional response, even if that requires acquiring expert assistance in completing the task. The educator should understand productivity, cost effectiveness, and value of the informational asset and its threats and vulnerabilities and subsequently how to go about protecting it (Elky, 2006). 

Moreover, if risk management is built on general rules rather than specific threat and vulnerability assessments for each and every organization many organizations will inoplement security measures on a higher level than necessary and by this leading to an unnecessary level of costs and inconveniences for the company and its employees. 

The introduction of DoIP enables vehicle diagnostics to be performed in repair shops using ordinary network equipment. Unfortunately, this means that vehicle diagnostics also becomes affected by many of the threats and vulnerabilities available in today s Internet. Especially critical becomes the lack of security in fundamental protocols used in LANs, since an attacker can exploit them and gain control of the (diagnostics) traffic as a man-in-the-middle [7]. In this paper, we address secure diagnostics in repair shops and more specifically we try to answer the questions ... 

Even the best-laid plans can sometimes be changed by unanticipated events. An occupational safety management plan should include contingencies if certain aspects of the master plan prove to be unattainable. Alternative courses of action can be incorporated into each segment of the planning process, or for the plan in its entirety. The occupational safety manger must continually identify and analyze threats and vulnerabilities to assets, and recommend and implement appropriate countermeasures.
