Threats and vulnerabilities assessing

Develop a risk or consequence assessment. The results of the threat and vulnerability assessment are used to prepare a risk or consequence assessment. The risk assessment establishes consequences for the various threats in the con-...

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. 

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

Data enrichment currently only deals with host information and vulnerability assessment information, although additional sources are under investigation, such as the Cisco Threat Response (CTR) technology1 that provides on-the-spot scan ability for IDS alert assessment. Both functions are presented in greater detail in Section 5. 

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].

The information on assets and infrastructure identification will help stakeholders begin to identify and prioritize a school s critical assets and infrastructure. This component must be undertaken in an effort to identify the appropriate mitigation strategies of the facility or complex. In relation to this, the threat and hazard assessment will focus on potential school threats and hazards while emphasizing the need for situational awareness of incidents both in the complex and the surrounding community. Both assessments will prepare the team for the execution of the vulnerability assessment. 

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). 

An information risk assessment is a variation of a more traditional risk assessment, which focuses on identifying assets and looking at the threats and vulnerabilities of each asset to potential loss. In conducting an information risk assessment, the first step is to identify information assets and estimate their value to the organization. 

Security Vulnerability Assessment A security vulnerability assessment is intended to identify security vulnerabilities from a wide range of threats ranging from vandalism to terrorism. With the recognition of threats, consequences, and vulnerabilities, the risk of security events can be evaluated, and a security management system can be organized that will effectively mitigate those risks. 

Emergency response plans (ERPs) are nothing new to chemical industries, since many have developed ERPs to deal with natural disasters, accidents, violence in the workplace, civil unrest, and so on. Because chemical industries are a vital part and ingredient of our way of life, it has been prudent for chemical industries to develop ERPs in order to help ensure the continuous flow of water to the community. However, many chemical industry ERPs developed prior to 9/11 do not explicitly deal with terrorist threats, such as intentional fire, explosion, or contamination. Recently, the U.S. Congress and federal regulators have required chemical industries to prepare or revise, as necessary, an ERP to reflect the findings of their vulnerability assessment and to address terrorist threats. 

Analyze assets requiring protection (DA-type), their value and vulnerabilities, potential threats agents, sources of undesirable events, define a list of possible threats dealing with the TOE and/or its environment, try to assess their likelihood and impact (percentage of the asset value loss).
