Security Risk Assessments (SRA) Standard 780
In the dynamic landscape of industrial operations, security risk assessments (SRAs) serve as a strategic imperative. They offer a comprehensive understanding of vulnerabilities across physical infrastructure, technology systems, and operational processes. These risk assessments are essential for organizations as they identify, mitigate, and prioritize potential risks, helping in proactive risk management, compliance maintenance, and overall operational resilience. By evaluating security vulnerabilities in protective systems, procedures, and infrastructure, assessments enable organizations to effectively allocate resources, prioritize critical threats, and mitigate or prevent security incidents. They provide valuable information for informed decision-making and facilitating the development of robust business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
This course covers all aspects of conducting a Standard 780 SRA, from identifying critical assets, assessing consequences, analyzing threats, determining vulnerabilities, and evaluating business-prudent risk treatments. Led by seasoned professionals, attendees learn to conduct SRAs, to identify security hazards, threats, and vulnerabilities facing a facility. Trainees will develop an understanding of how to evaluate the countermeasures to provide for the protection of the public, workers, national interests, the environment, and the company.
