ABSTRACT
On completion of this chapter, you will be familiar with the vulnerability assessment model; be able to define scenarios and evaluate specific consequences; have learned how to use the Asset/Attack Matrix to determine which facility assets are subject to what kinds of attack scenarios; understand the Threat/Target Nexus Matrix, which identifies where high-value individuals may encounter potential threat actors within the facility; understand the Threat/Weapons Nexus Matrix, which identifies what types of weapons can be used at the nexus points identified by the Threat/Target Nexus Matrix; understand the adversary sequence diagrams, which evaluate how threat actors move in a facility; review how that affects the vulnerability assessment; and have learned how surveillance affects vulnerability and how to assess surveillance opportunities. Finally, the chapter teaches how to develop matrixes that help you assess all these factors, which together comprise vulnerability.
