Improving Common Security Risk Analysis (Amelioration d'un processus commun d'analyse de risques securite)
Abstract:
This report is the final report resulting from the four meetings of the working group called Improving Common Security Risk Analysis IST-049 - RTG-021. The report describes the different methods used by various NATO countries. As a first conclusion, the report shows that these methodologies, even if based on similar principles, differ in their knowledge bases or type of results. This makes the risk assessments difficult or impossible to compare when different methods have been used. In a second part, the report identifies the main steps which are considered as mandatory for a method to be used by NATO. Then the report identifies recommendations which should be taken into account by the existing methods and tools in order to solve the interoperability problem identified in the first part of the document but also to be able to take into account the new NATO concepts such as NNEC. The final chapter of the report identifies the follow on activities to be conducted within RTOIST or within other NATO entities.
