Security Assessments

Our assessment capabilities include the following:

• Buffer Zone Protection Plans and Validation — Plans designed to protect and secure areas surrounding critical infrastructure and key resource sites such as nuclear plants, chemical facilities, etc. The concept is to develop a set of concentric areas surrounding a potential target. The buffer could be physical, software, or procedural. A buffer zone protection plan would include graduated physical security and security responses from the first layer of protection to the target. Validation can be accomplished by performance testing or computer simulation, Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation or BlastFX.
• Vulnerability Assessments, Threat and Risk Analysis, Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability Analysis — This includes gathering data about the facility, finding vulnerabilities in protection strategies, and reducing the associated risk to an acceptable level.
• Computer Simulation of Adversary Neutralization — The facility is modeled. Adversary scenarios are developed, and simulated force-on-force exercises are run on the Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation to determine whether the protection strategies are sufficient to neutralize the adversary force. Adversary neutralization is the act of stopping the adversary before his goal is completed.
• Port and Waterway Security Assessments — This includes gathering data related to the port or waterway, finding vulnerabilities in protection strategies and pathways, and offering security upgrades.
• Hazardous Materials Transportation Evaluations — Evaluation of possible threats, security strategies, route planning.
• Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Dispersion Modeling — Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Dispersion has been modeled using HotSpot or the Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation to identify dispersion possibilities and containment strategies.
