THE SAVI VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT MODEL

The assessment model \"Systematic Analysis of Vulnerability to Intrusion\" (SAVI) presented in this report Ls a PC-based path analysis model. Et can provide estimates of protection system effectiveness (or vulnerability) against a spectrum of outsider threats including collusion with an insider adversary. It calculates one measure of system effectiveness, the probability of interruption P(I), for all potential adversary paths. SAVI can perform both theft and sabotage vulnerability analyses. For theft, the analysis is based on the assumption that adversaries should be interrupted either before they can accomplish removal of the target material from its normal location or removal from the site boundary. For sabotage, the analysis is based on the assumption that adversaries should be interrupted before completion of their sabotage task.
