Facility Vulnerability Analysis The FVA is a method used to determine facility vulnerability as well as predictable activity surrounding the facility. It is important to view the facility and its weaknesses from the perspective of the attacker (from the outside in). Observing the vulnerabilities from the “outside looking in” helps us to see the situation as the attackers would/will and could ultimately enable us to thwart their plans.

SurveillanceDetection Case studies have revealed that surveillance is the weakest link in the attack cycle. Very often, initial surveillance is poorly executed due to lack of discipline or training of the surveillance team. Surveillance Detection is an ongoing process by which we focus various assts on the identified Red Zone area to detect surveillance in those are.
