A new insider vulnerability assessment model
A new insider vulnerability assessment model is currently being developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The model focuses on timely detection of theft or diversion of nuclear material by a non-violent insider. This model will be part of an integrated vulnerability assessment package being developed jointly by LLNL and Sandia National Laboratory. The model will enable a safeguards analyst to complete a comprehensive and well-documented vulnerability analysis. Two major components are used in the model. The first consists of a description of the facility being analyzed, the safeguards components in the use at the facility, the theft material, and the potential insider adversaries. The second component is a predefined set of strategy definitions, including specific methods of defeating the individual safeguards components.
