Security Vulnerability Analysis

Course Description

Process security management addresses threats from terrorist and criminal acts against plants that may result in the release of hazardous materials. The risk of such threats must be assessed to determine if existing security measures and safeguards are adequate or need improvement. Risk assessment is the heart of a process security program. It involves both threat analysis and vulnerability analysis.

Threat analysis is used to identify the sources and types of threats. Once specific threats have been identified, vulnerability analysis is used to identify how threats could be realized. Recommendations are made for improvements to reduce the likelihood and severity of terrorist and criminal acts for consideration by management based on the nature of the threat, process vulnerabilities, possible consequences, and existing security measures and safeguards. Risk rankings are performed as part of the analysis.

This course describes publicly available methods including CCPS SVA and Primatech PVA.TM

Attendees participate in workshop sessions where threat and vulnerability analysis is conducted.

Course is only available for In-House training.
