Cyber / Physical Security Vulnerability Assessment Integration

Both physical and cyber security subject matter experts have come to realize that there are various interactive elements that are not currently quantified in most periodic security assessments. This Laboratory Directed R&D effort is evaluating both physical and cyber Vulnerability Analysis (VA) techniques and providing a strategic approach to integrating the interdependent relationships of each into a single VA capability. This LDRD project is developing; the methodology, the subject matter expertise, and the proto-type software tools … to help identify and properly assess areas of overlap (and interaction) in the vulnerability assessment process between physical protection and cyber security.
