ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the specifics on security vulnerability assessments (SVAs) for any given critical infrastructure or support organization responsible for a critical infrastructure. It 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. It is one of the more critical chapters in the 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.
