Risk Analysis - framework
The DSSA working group is evaluating risk-management methods on the way to developing detailed work plans for analyzing the threats and vulnerabilities we're identifying. This page is where we're tracking our work.
Document types:
PDF -- these are read-only files that allow navigation of the mind-map -- but they must be opened in Adobe Reader 9 or later
MMAP -- these are the editable mind-map files -- can be loaded directly into Mindjet's MindManager product or imported into the open-source Freemind program
MM -- these are also mind-map files -- we switched to using Freemind for our work (thus avoiding the cost and complexity of Mindjet's product) in early January 2012
HTML -- these are straight text html files that can be read by any web browser
