Provide an estimate of the severity of adverse consequences if an attack were to occur on the key asset.
Begin with an introduction in which you do the following:
B. Explain your consequence analysis process.
C. Explain the importance of this key asset as it applies to these things: • Human impact • Economic impact • Impact on public confidence • Impact on government capability
Next, using your earlier vulnerability analysis, describe what you believe will be the most likely attack scenario.
A. Predict the level of damage that terrorist groups could inflict on the key asset if the attack were successful. Support your prediction with historical sector-attack examples.
D. Provide an estimate of the severity of adverse consequences if an attack were to occur on the key asset. Use the following scale: low, medium, or high. Explain to leadership how your calculations were made in order to justify your reasoning. Use the result of your risk assessment calculation (from Module Six) as the estimate. (Remember the lessons learned from your case study in Module One, in which the mayor raised concerns about how your risk analysis process was done.)
VI. Countermeasures: In this section, you will use the findings from the Module Seven short paper and your understanding of vulnerabilities. Again, you will make recommendations to leadership on how to mitigate the terrorist threat. You will use the latest technology countermeasures to address three key areas: physical, cyber, and personnel security.
A. Recommend countermeasures to increase the security of the key asset, and explain how each countermeasure will help address the key asset’s vulnerabilities. Your recommendations should address the following components: i. Physical security ii. Cybersecurity iii. Personnel security
B. Defend why implementing these countermeasures would help deter any known or potential terrorist threats to the key asset. Include public use images of each countermeasure. Include your CPTED strategy within the physical security section.
