Abstract
Identify and rank threats at a critical government facility
Incoming article date: 21.01.2024The article discusses the issues of identifying and ranking threats at an important government facility. The classification of threats by type is described. The article discusses the concepts of “design-based threats” and “the most dangerous variant of the violator’s actions” and their differences. An example of ranking threats and reducing their number to reduce the dimensionality of the vulnerability analysis problem is considered. An important government object is considered as an object in the example. Experts are tasked with ranking threats according to the level of potential losses for an important government facility if they are realized. In practice, the implementation of an accepted design threat may lead to lower potential losses than the most dangerous option for violators and, as a result, to lower requirements for the effectiveness of the physical protection system.
