Methods and systems for assessing security risks

One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of assessing security risks associated with a linear corridor, the method comprising:

• accessing information associated with the linear corridor, wherein the information comprises combined survey data and context sensitive information associated with the linear corridor, and wherein the linear corridor is selected from a plurality of linear corridors;
• displaying a portion of the linear corridor in first area of a user interface;
• presenting the information associated with the linear corridor in the first area of the user interface, thereby allowing a user to view the linear corridor in the context of the information;
• displaying a corridor navigation tool in a second area of the user interface that is separate from the first area, wherein the corridor navigation tool includes
• A) a corridor indicator that provides a diagrammatic linear representation of the linear corridor that is displayed in the first area of the user interface,
• B) indicia along the corridor indicator that represent critical assets along the linear corridor, and
• C) a corridor window superimposed on the corridor indicator, wherein the corridor window is configured to slide linearly along the corridor indicator, wherein the portion of the linear corridor displayed in the first area of the user interface corresponds to a location of the corridor window on the corridor indicator, and wherein a user selects the portion of the linear corridor to display by moving the corridor window along the corridor indicator;
• assessing the security risks associated with the linear corridor using the combined survey data and context sensitive information, wherein assessing the security risks includes
• A) receiving an identification of a critical asset located along the linear corridor,
• B) accessing risk assessment metrics, wherein the risk assessment metrics include relative values assigned for different aspects and parameters associated with security risk,
• C) applying the risk assessment metrics to the critical asset located along the linear corridor, and
• D) generating a risk value for the critical asset;
• and
• presenting the risk value to the user.
