Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is utilized as a comprehensive and systematic process proven to help understand security risks and define risk-based improvements. The SRA identifies security hazards, threats and vulnerabilities and evaluates the countermeasures to provide for the protection of the public, workers, national interests, the environment, and the company.  This class will provide an overview of the SRA process and insights to security management for industrial facilities.
																		

			
																			
The class will instruct attendees on how to conduct a SRA, as well as how to integrate this information into security risk assessment management system. Specifically, they will learn the SRA steps of Characterization, Threat Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, Risk Evaluation, and Risk Treatment. They will apply these principles in a practical group exercise and gain an understanding of how to create a security management system and strategies for risk reduction in their own facilities.  

• Introduce international Security Risk Management models and standards including ANSI API Standard 780 Security Risk Assessment Methodology for the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries.
• Introduce Security Risk Assessment principles
• Describe the Security Risk Assessment process in accordance with international standards
• Discuss and apply the SRA methodology technique using class examples
• Demo available SRA and risk management software SVAPro and Acuity.
