SAVI (Systematic Analysis of Vulnerability to Intrusion) represents a new generation of analyses programs, which assess the vulnerability of a physical protection system and are designed for use on personal computers. Features unique to SAVI include (a) analysis of all adversary paths, (b) a safeguards-component catalog with a detection/delay performance database, (c) results in graphic form, and (d) path-upgrade recommendations. The primary figure of merit calculated for system effectiveness is the probability of adversary interruption before mission completion. SAVI has been taught to more than 200 security analysts from the US Dept. of Energy and is currently its standard tool for outsider-threat vulnerability analysis.
