7-1 Final Project

Identify Target

(What target needs protecting?)

Analysis of Threat

(Who is the threat?)

Identify Vulnerabilities

Assessment of

Threats

(What is the risk/level of damage that the adversary could inflict?)

1 (low)–10 (high)

Application of Countermeasures

(What actions are we taking to reduce vulnerabilities/risk?)

Risk After Countermeasures Are Applied

(Is the risk acceptable?)

EXAMPLE

New Hampshire Power Plant (Electric)

EXAMPLE

Radical group calling themselves the “Boyz.” These Boyz have a membership of 200. They have been known to use extreme violence in carrying their missions out. Based on intelligence collected by law enforcement, it is believed that they will try to breach the power plant perimeter and commit terrorist acts causing the power to turn off.

EXAMPLE

Back of the power plant is next to the water/canal opens into the ocean

Fence is missing in areas

Security staff is at 70%

Employees are not trained for detection/recognition

No electronic equipment

No entry control

EXAMPLE

High Risk (9)

EXAMPLE

Have the Coast Guard monitor the water area around the power plant for the duration of this threat.

Supplement security with Federal Marshals

Install video recording equipment

Establish walking patrols that overlap

Establish entry control procedures

EXAMPLE

Low risk (3)

(After applying the countermeasures, it is unlikely that anyone would successfully penetrate this power plant from the exterior)
