in Miami
May 22-25, 2023
Get Certified in the CIA's CARVER Method
at a Historic Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida from May 22-25, 2023
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Four Educational Days Learning the CIA's CARVER Assessment Strategy: A Strategic Target Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment Methodology
A Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) is an understanding of the threats, weaknesses, and probability of attack, which could impact a facility, person, system or event.
As such, the CARVER Strategic Target Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment Methodology is a time-tested vulnerability assessment methodology that balances efficiency with reliability.
It is a unique analytical tool because it facilitates both a qualitative and a quantitative assessment of an asset’s vulnerabilities. Most assessment tools are limited to qualitative assessments. A quantitative assessment assists in highlighting vulnerabilities, prioritizing assets and remedial efforts.

Upon registering for the "CARVER Miami" program, we will book you (and a guest, if requested) with a room at the Shelborne Hotel. Breakfast will be included on May 23-25. Additional meals, as well as air/vehicle transportation, will be your responsibility. We recommend that you fly into Miami International Airport (MIA).

WHAT TO EXPECT
Four Days of Intense CARVER Training (in a relaxed tropical environment)
As the premier global CARVER training course for the past two decades, the SMI team is proud to present the "CARVER Miami" program. Having trained close to 10,000 students in this target analysis and vulnerability assessment methodology, we have decided to change up the training location (we usually train in Washington DC or Tampa), the format of the course, as well as modernize the content. As a special bonus (we don't typically do this) we are including your hotel room in the cost of tuition... and doing so in a historic Miami Beach resort is a nice touch, if we do say so ourselves. We are also offering students free access to the CARVER+ software platform. CARVER+ is the future of vulnerability assessments, as it allows you to assess, report, and monitor your assets in real-time from anywhere around the world.
