Risk Assessment
A proactive strategy for security/risk mitigation supports sustainable, healthy, productive organizations and is a critical responsibility of senior leadership & governing boards
51
What was developed in the insurance industry?
Risk Assessment
52
Who should be responsible for all of the organization's security/risk strategy
Senior Executive
53
An uncertain situation with a number of possible outcomes, one or more of which is undesirable
Risk
54
What does risk include?
all negative events for an organization their impact likelihood & how soon they may occur (imminence)
55
Two things that risk assessment does with all risks
Defines & Quantifies
56
3 things risk assessment techniques may be
1. Heuristic (ad hoc)
2. Inductive (qualitative) (bottom-up approach)
3. Deductive (quantitative) (top-down approach)
57
Inductive
(qualitative - bottom-up approach)
**1.** risks identified at the beginning of the analysis
**2.** Identified risks are the starting point not the result
**3.** This method may produce incomplete results
**4.** This method makes use of "event trees" that trace an initiating event through a sequence with different possible outcomes
**5.** Does not readily lend itself to feedback loops in the event trees
**6.** This method focuses on scenarios which may fail to account for concurrent attacks
58
Deductive
quantitative - top-down approach
1. Risks result from a systemic deductive top-down approach
2. Uses "logic diagrams" & "fault trees" along with event trees
59
When an entire population is at risk
Societal Risk
60
Risk assessments attempt to find answers to three primary questions
1. What can go wrong?
2. What is the likelihood of it going wrong?
3. What is the impact if it goes wrong?
61
Risk management attempts to answer four primary questions:
1. What can be done about identified risks?
2. What options are available?
3. What are the associated trade-offs of the options?
4. What are the impacts of current management decisions on future options?
62
5 things that risk assessments include
**1.** Identifying internal & external threats & vulnerabilities
**2.** Identifying the probability and impact of an event arising from such threats or vulnerabilities
**3.** Defining critical functions necessary to continue the organization's operations
**4**. Defining the controls in place exposure
**5.** Evaluating the cost of such controls
63
Risk Formula
R = T x A x V
R = Residual risk
T = Threat a combination of threat definition & likelihood of an attack
A = Asset to be protected
V = Vulnerability represented by system effectiveness
64
Coordinated activities to direct & control an organization with regard to risk
Risk Management (ISO)
65
Although definitions of risk management vary, they generally agree that it relies on
1. Risk assessment (which relies on a vulnerability assessment)
2. Threats
3. Asset value
4. Vulnerability
66
Major types of risk assessment
1. Quantitative (hard numbers, history statistics)
2. Qualitative ("feel" predictions experience etc.)
67
**Security typically relies on qualitative not quantitative assessment**
68
Risk is expressed in:
1. Threat
2. Consequence (impact)
3. Vulnerability (likelihood probability)
69
Risk Analysis Includes
1. Risk assessment
2. Risk evaluation
3. Risk management alternatives
70
A recommended approach for conducting a general risk assessment
1. Understand the organization & identify the people & assets at risk
2. Specify loss risk events/vulnerabilities
3. Establish the probability of loss risk & frequency of events
4. Determine the impact of the events
5. Develop options to mitigate risks
6. Study the feasibility of implementation of options
7. Perform a cost/benefit analysis
71
The value of a risk analysis depends upon...
The skill of the analysis
72
Higher risk in high-rise buildings
**1.** More people = more property & more property = more opportunity for crime
**2.** More people = more chances of internal crime
**3**. More people = more anonymity
**4**. Easy access to the public in CBO's - easy access to mass transit
**5**. Elevators & stairwells can be risky places
73
Higher risk in high-rise buildings...ctd
6. Risky, neighboring tenants
7. Tough to control threats & respond to incidents (too many people & environment is complex)
8. Evacuations are difficult
9. More critical threats in high-rise include fire, explosion & contamination
10. The ability to mitigate threats for high-rise depends on structural design & use of technology to:
- Deter & detect a threat
- Communicate a threat's nature & location
- Initiate automatic or Org. responders
74
3 General types of assets
1. People
2. Property
3. Information
75
Tangible assets can be seen, touched or directly measured in physical form

77
The amount of protection require by an enterprise is a function of:
1. Value of the asset
2. Risk tolerance of the enterprise
78
Three general methods of valuing assets
1. Dollars (most important measures)
2. Consequence criteria
3. Policy (prescribed protection levels)
79
Asset value may be expressed in...
1. Criticality
2. Consequences of loss
3. Severity
80
Cost-of-loss Formula
K = (Cp + Ct + Cr + Ci) - I
K = Criticality, the total cost of loss
Cp = Cost of permanent replacement
Ct = Cost of temporary substitute
Ci = Lost income
I = Insurance
81
A loss isn't measured just by replacement it also includes:
**Lost income**
**Sales**
**Downtime**
(Indirect Costs)
82
Security losses are:
1. Direct (money, negotiable instruments, property, information..)
2. Indirect (harm to reputation, loss of goodwill, loss of employers, harm to employees morale...)
83
Threats & Less Events
Pure Risks
Crime
Conflicts of Interest
Natural disaster
Civil disturbance
War/insurrection
Terrorism
Accident
Maliciously willful or negligent personal conduct
84
Less risk event (threat) categories

Combination
87
A detailed list of threats; key to determining the Design Basis Threat (DBT)
Threat Spectrum
88
The threat against which countermeasures are designed to protect
Design Basis Threat (DBT)
89
Motivation
Tools
Competence
Knowledge
Threat Considerations
90
A risk analysis that considers the entire threat spectrum must be performed because...
As the threat increases, performance of individual security elements or the system as a whole will decrease
91
Cost Abatement
Coverage of losses by Insurance
1. Insurance pay-off should be subtracted from the total loss of an asset
2. Insurance payments & premiums should reduce the insurance pay-off
92
Nine probability factors for threats & loss events
1. Physical environment (neighborhood & vicinity)
2. Overall geographical location
3. Social environment
4. Political environment
5. Economic environment
6. Historical experience for the organization
7. Historical experience for the industry

98
What determines system requirements before design & implementation
Vulnerability Assessment
99
A frequency of vulnerability assessments
1. Before system implementation
2. Upon upgrades
3. Periodic system effectiveness tests
100
A vulnerability assessment should include

2. Threats & assets
3. Constraints related to the VA or the site
4. Existing countermeasures
5. Vulnerabilities in countermeasures
6. Baseline analysis of system effectiveness
7. Recommendations for countermeasures improvement
8. Analysis of expected improvements
101
A site survey is part of the vulnerability assessment
102
Types of Testing
1. Functional test (components are performing as expected)
2. Operability testing (components are being used properly)
3. Performance testing (repeats tests to determine component effectiveness against different threats)
103
Testing Approaches
1. Compliance - based
- conformance to specified policies or regulations
- "Feature-based" approach
- Effective only for low threats, low less impacts, and CBA - supported cost decisions
- Easier to perform
- The metric for this analysis is the presence of the specified equipment & procedures
104
Testing Approaches
2. Performance-based
- Evaluates how much element of the PPS operations
105
What is the biggest mistake made when conducting a Vulnerability Assessment?
Concentrate on individual PPS components & address upgrades only at that level, not at the level of the overall system
106
Three primary functions of a PPS to be tested
1. Detection measures
2. Delay measures
3. Response measures
107
Detection Measures
1. Probability of detection
2. The time required to report & assess alarms
3. Includes entry controls
108
Delay Measures
- Layers of security sum up to total delay time
- Delay time considered after detection
109
Response Measures
- Time to interruptions of the adversary
- Accuracy of deployment
110
An effective assessment system provides two types of information
1. Whether the alarm is valid or nuisance
2. Key details about the cause of the alarm (what, where, how many)
111
Containment Strategy
1. Detect - prompt detection & reliable notification
2. Delay - extend adversary task time
3. Respond - timely, aware, equipped, and trained responses
112
Carver & Stock vulnerability assessment
1. Developed by US government during WW2 as targeting process
2. Declassified in 2003
3. **C**riticality (impact of the attack)
4. **A**ccessibility (ability to get in & out)
5. **R**ecoverability (ability of target to recover)
6. **V**ulnerability (ease of compromising target)
7. **E**ffect (direct loss)
8. **R**ecognizability (target identifiability)
9. Shock
113
Risk Management Options
Mitigation
Acceptance
Transfer
Spreading
Avoidance
\* Risk Financing = Insurance
114
Risk can be reduced in 3 ways
1. Prevent the attack
2. Protecting against attack
3. Mitigating consequences of an attack
115
Mitigation means reducing consequences
1. Mitigation focuses solely on reducing consequences
2. It may be implemented before during and after the attack
116
General categories of risk reduction
1. Equipment & hardware
2. Policies & procedures management
3. Staffing
117
Mitigation strategies must be evaluated by...
1. Availability
2. Affordability
3. Feasibility
4. Application to operations
118
Except for certain high-value irreplaceable items an organization should base its protection strategies on a realistic cost-effective rationale
119
What are the least expensive counter-measures one can employ for asset protection tools?
Procedural Controls
\* Revised procedures can enhance security while improving the bottom line for the enterprise
120
A phrase that defines a call-to-order for assistance against a crime similar to "observe & report" of today
Hue & Cry
121
"Shire-Reeve was later shortened to?
Sheriff
122
What was first described as "the king's peace"
Government Policing
\* Civil torts became crimes against the king's peace; the "state" collected penalties instead of the people obtaining civil judgments
123
Name of the first police department organized by Sir Robert Peel in London, 1829?
The Peelers
124
Arrangements of public safety policing
1. Private environment supplement
2. Public Environment Replacement

126
When do "private police" have arrest powers?
Only when they are on duty
(may include qualified immunity)
127
7 Distinctions between public & private policing
1. Public police - duty sworn
2. Public police - monopolized service is less efficient even complacent
3. Public police - constitutional protections apply
4. Private police - employed by private firms
5. Private police - a perception of lacking the same authority as public police
6. Private police - tends to focus on loss reduction or asset protection
7. Private police - provider competition drives better service & value
128
The success of privatized police requires
Competition
Accountability
Standards
129
Private Policing
Low priority call handling like residential alarms: 20% = crimes, 80% = non-emergencies
130
Community policing efforts are expensive & resource-intensive
131
Fear of crime is exacerbated by signs of criminal activity
132
What 2 activities represent chaotic conditions that result in more serious criminal activity?
Incivility & Disorder
\* If incivility is not perceived to be a problem resident may be able to cope with higher rates of crime
133
Order Maintenance
1. Used in community policing, may reduce crime (lack of order can lead to high crime or fear)
2. A core goal of community policing is to focus on fear reductions through order maintenance techniques
3. A disorder is characterized by reduced social controls, such as panhandling, loitering, youth taking over parks & street corners, public drinking, prostitution, graffiti, and other disorderly behaviors
134
Order Maintenance (ctd...)
4. Disorder tends to cause a greater sense of risk & loss of control
5. The disorder causes more awareness of the consequences of a criminal attack
6. As disorder causes crime to increase the community sinks further with conditions that lead to even more crime
7. An alternative theory to socioeconomic impact of crime is that the completion of a crime simply requires the convergence in time & space of an offender a suitable target, and the absence of guardians
135
3 Categories of consultants
1. Security management consultants
2. Technical security consultants
3. Security forensic consultants
136
Security Consultants
Which roles may undertake forensic assignments
Security management consultants & technical security consultants
137
Security Consultants
The decision to retain security consulting services is typically driven by a specific...
Problem
Need
Challenge
Goal
138
Security Consultants
Security consultants might be retained because...
1. lack of in-house time or specialized knowledge
2. Need for objective assessment particularly for liability or due diligence situations
3. Need for fresh ideas, or independence from internal politics
4. Need for flexibility of contracted personnel
5. Recognition that management may be more amenable to a consultant's ideas because of broader experience industry knowledge
139
Security Consultants
Resistance to the use of security consultant usually reflects concerns
1. Asking for outside help suggests the security staff is incompetent
2. A negative report from an outsider reflects unfavorably on the security program
3. The organization's policies & procedures could be compromised by an outsider who would become intimately familiar with the enterprise
140
Effective security programs typically include a well-thought-out array of security measures
141
Finding a security consultant
1. Best source: Referral from a colleague
2. Industry associations with consultants as mentors
3. Industry - specific associations
142
Professional consultants are restrictive in the assignments they will accept

2. Clients should be cautious of a consultant claiming to be able to address all aspects of security
143
Security Advisory Committee (SAC)
Comprised of members from key corporate functions
1. Chaired by a project coordinator
2. Members should have stature & creditability
3. Members should be able to offer useful opinions about security
144
SAC Purposes
1. Determine adequacy of security measures determine if a consultant is necessary
2. Critically examine the security program
3. Maintain general oversight of security program
4. Assist in meeting corporate & government requirements
