Vulnerability and Risk Analysis Program: Overview of Assessment Methodology

Abstract

This report provides a high-level overview of the vulnerability assessment methodology that is being developed and validated by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCIP) as part of its multitfaceted mission to work with the Energy Sector in developing the capability required for protecting the nation's energy infrastructures. Over the last three years, a team of national laboratory experts, working in partnership with the energy industry, has successfully applied the methodology as part of OCIP's Vulnerability and Risk Analysis Program (VRAP) (formerly the Infrastructure Assurance Outreach Program IAOP) to help energy-sector organizations identify and understand the threats to and vulnerabilities (physical and cyber) of their infrastructures. Lessons learned from these assessments, as well as best practice approaches to mitigate vulnerabilities, are documented in related VRAP reports.
