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
