Brainstorming 2. Threat Development 3. Preliminary Risk Analysis Using Unified Methodology Guidelines Capture all risk items from spreadsheet in database for further development Automatically analyze and prioritizes risks showing results on a graphical interface SecureRisk keeps a comprehensive record of the disposition of risks identified by expert workshop teams Component # 2 SecureRisk Database Risk Documentation Capture All Risk Items From Spreadsheet Analyze and Prioritize Risks Collapse to Global Risks Retire Low Risks or Combined With Others YES NO WATCH SecureRisk tracks all interdependent threats and vulnerabilities/risks allowing for adjustment as other tasks as well as local, regional and national priorities and mitigation developed and/or changed Security Improvements in Component # 3 Develop Schematic SecureRisk Database Brainstorm Security Improvements Coordinate and Shift Appropriate Security Improvements To : 1. Other Tasks (e.g. Surveillance, C3, Hardening etc.) 2. Other Jurisdictions (e.g. Coast Guard, TSA, etc.) Retire Risks When Shifted YES NO WATCH Component # 4 Reduced Risk/Cost Benefit of Security Improvements Develop Schematic Security Improvements Estimate Security Improvements Provide Relative Risk Reduction Compared to Costs of all for the Asset Security Improvements Based on: 1. First Cost 2. Operation & Maintenance Cost 3. Life Cycle Cost Implement Next Phase YES NO SecureRisk cost benefit approach allows trade offs between first cost and operational (CONOPS) strategies SecureRisk tracks all security improvements from conception through design and implementation/construction SecureRisk tracks all interdependent threats and vulnerabilities/risks allowing for adjustment if security priorities and/or budget changes SecureRisk tracks automates the production of reports and risk reduction cost curves Benefits / Analytic Approach Use SAVE international job plan as the best method for multidiscipline workshop team interaction Allows synergistic interaction between cross - disciplinary experts such as: 1. Security/Law Enforce. 2. E/A Trans. Infrastructure 3. Blast Modeler 4. Systems Integrator 5. Operations 6. Emergency Response Analyzes all interdependent threats and vulnerabilities to ensure none fall between the cracks Arrays relative risks on a single spread sheet for complete transparency
