DISCUSSION ESSAY

Part I: Brainstorming list of Assets

Instructions: For the first part of this assignment, brainstorm to determine all of the assets in the chosen environment. Be sure to include all “types’ of assets, e.g., “things” as well as information assets, “people” assets, and moving assets. That list will be used to help complete the Matrix in Part II (the list below is a starting point; there may be more or less assets in your specific environment).

  1. Terminal 4
  2. Air crafts
  3. JFK Air Control Tower
  4. Parking
  5. People
  6. Runaway
  7. JFK AirTrain
  8. Cargo facilities
  9. Custom border patrol
  10. Taxi

Part II: Evaluation of Assets

Instructions: Complete the matrix below regarding the evaluation of assets in your environment. Please note the instructions for each section of the matrix. Additionally, you can add to this matrix if more space is needed.

  1. Be sure to include all “types” of assets, e.g., “things” as well as information assets, “people” assets, and moving assets. Use your brainstorm list to help with this.
  2. Catalog and audit your assets, e.g. How many groups of people, buildings, etc. do you have in the environment?
  3. Rank the value of assets.
  4. Who and/or what is the most vulnerable to be attacked? Give your rationale.
