Click Here
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the process involved in performing a threat and risk assessment. There are many methodologies that exist today on how to perform a risk and threat assessment. There are some that are "open-source" and those that are proprietary; however, they all try to answer the following questions. 1) What needs to be protected? 2) Who/What are the threats and vulnerabilities? 3) What are the implications if they were damaged or lost? 4) What is the value to the organization? 5) What can be done to minimize exposure to the loss or damage?
