A vulnerability assessment is a performance-based analysis answering the following question: How effective is the protection program in detecting, interrupting and neutralizing an adversary that is attempting to steal or sabotage a high-value or critical asset? Performance-based analysis identifies vulnerabilities in access control, intrusion detection and assessment, delay barriers and armed response forces, and recommends upgrades that specifically target these vulnerabilities. The end result is a protection program focused to protect specific assets (e.g., nuclear material, hazardous chemicals) against specific threats (e.g., terrorists, disgruntled employees).
