Learning Outcomes: Evaluate a wide array of risk management philosophies and methodologies across a representative group of agencies and issues Analyze and prioritize valued assets of a specific program, operation, installation or organization Analyze and discuss challenges to assigning value to assets and articulating relative value of non-similar items and non- structural assets such as human life Synthesize challenges to gathering timely and accurate threat information in an all-hazards environment particularly very infrequent events and future adversary capabilities Identify, compare, and contrast risk management methodologies and tools used within DoD and other agencies Evaluate the role that assumptions play in risk analysis and management and how to incorporate assumptions into studies Determine, articulate, and defend the weights assigned to risk factors during analysis and discuss effects of weighting Recognize the role that mitigation strategies should play in reducing overall risk by addressing any or all of the three risk factors Analyze possible security measures to reduce risk to an asset as determined and articulated in the student project Evaluate and articulate challenges in determining all significant vulnerabilities of a specific program, operation, installation or organization Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of common vulnerability assessment and risk assessment tools Synthesize the current trends in the risk management community in addressing complexities in each of the three risk factors and their combined analysis Evaluate how risk management could be applied to a specific program, operation, installation or organization as a student project Synthesize objective and balanced benefits and costs to contending risk mitigation approaches in a fully documented final paper Present this synthesis, and accompanying uncertainties, in a comprehensive and balanced risk analysis and recommendations to senior agency leadership General Topics: An introduction to risk analysis and management and its background History of risk in personal, institutional, and leadership decision making Risk theory and lexicon Risk case study: hijacking of the USS Pueblo Risk component: threats and hazards, assets and consequences/impacts, and vulnerabilities Analyzing, weighting, and prioritizing data, cost-benefit analysis Combining risk, vulnerability, and consequences/impact measures Risk mitigation: countermeasures In-depth examination of a risk assessment model: ForcePro Decision makers and risk management Representative vulnerability and risk assessment models and tools The future of risk management Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Instructional Strategies: Audio Visual Materials Case Studies Classroom Exercise Discussion Lectures Methods of Assessment: Performance Rubrics (Checklists) Presentations Quizzes Written Papers Minimum Passing Score: 80% Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Other offerings from Center for Development of Security Excellence Assessment and Evaluation of Department of Defense Security Programs (CDSE-0028) Basic Industrial Security for the Government Security Specialist Program (CDSE-0029) Budgeting and Financial Management for Security Programs (CDSE-0030) Constitutional Law and Its Application to Department of Defense Security (CDSE-0025) Cybersecurity and the Oversight of Information System Security (CDSE-0040) DOD Security Specialist Course (CDSE-0031) Effective Communication in DoD Security (CDSE-0037) Federal Background Investigator Training Program (FBITP) (NBIB-0001) Foundations of Insider Threat Management (CDSE-0046) FSO Orientation for Non-Possessing Facilities Curriculum (CDSE-0004) View All Courses Page Content
