Abstract
A tool set is provided that uses a series of modules (e.g. spreadsheet workbooks) for assessing risks/threats to and attacks against a project and developing countermeasures against such risks/threats/attacks. The project may cover a wide berth of functionality from alarm systems, computer security, building projects, etc. The roll up feature of the spreadsheet may be employed to evaluate changing scenarios in a short period of time. Ranked threats and countermeasures operable to defeat such threats may be displayed in a tree diagram generated by one or more of the modules.
Claims15
A programmable computer useable medium having computer readable code embodied in said medium configured to cause a computer to:
- process data records comprising information concerning risk, threat vulnerability, impact and security attack;
- apply an algorithm to said data records to rate time-factored risks and select appropriate countermeasures and technical implementations therefor against said time-factored risks;
- and
- generate forms in connection with providing a graphical user interface provided by a computer spreadsheet application,
- wherein said computer spreadsheet application generates a plurality of workbooks comprising:
- a critical program information (CPI) tool workbook configured to identify data records that are determined to be critical assets according to a predefined criteria;
- and
- a work breakdown structure (WBS) critical program information (CPI) workbook configured to provide a plurality of tasks for completion within a project which cross references said tasks with the data records that are determined to be critical assets according to said predefined criteria.
