ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines specifics on Security Vulnerability Assessments (SVA) for any given critical infrastructure or support organization responsible for a critical infrastructure. The chapter provides a summary of conditions, factors, and states of existence in which it may become necessary to provide levels of countermeasures for remediation efforts of any vulnerability discovered or known. This chapter is one of the more critical chapters outlined within this book, as any professional, specialist, or technician who is responsible for a critical infrastructure or any aspect of a critical infrastructure, should (at the very least) have a fundamental understanding of what is involved in securing an organization’s or industrial sector’s infrastructure.
