Get Certified in the CIA's CARVER Method

at a Historic Hotel in Washington DC from August 29-31, 2023

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Three 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.
