Security Program Measures

1. Preventative measures – Reduce the likelihood of an attack, delay the success of the attack, protect the assets or make it less vulnerable of being compromised.

2. Detective measures – Discover the attack and activate corrective or mitigative action.

3. Corrective measures – Reduce the effects of an attack and restore to normal operations.

What are The Steps Necessary?

1. Evaluate

2. Establish

3. Sustain

Step One: Evaluation

1. Mission

2. Assets

3. Consequences

4. Threats

5. Security System Effectiveness

Step One: Evaluation (Mission)

1. What do I buy?

2. What do I sell?

3. How do I produce it?

4. What components do I need to make what I make?

5. What does it take to get those components and deliver the finished product?

2. People

3. Knowledge

4. Information Technology

5. Clientele

6. Any activity that has a positive value to its owner

Step One: Evaluation (Assets)

What would it take to disrupt operations?

What would it take to stop operations? What would happen to the vendors, your

company, your customers, if operations paused or ceased?

Who and What would be impacted?

Based on analysis of Asset and Threats, create Asset-Threat Pairing

Not every Asset is considered attractive to the same Threat

Every asset’s protection must be evaluated against its own Design Basis Threat
