Prepare a point paper MINIMUM OF 1000 words that provides a critical analysis of an existing risk assessment methodology. | Quick Homework Help

Instructions:  Students will prepare a  point paper MINIMUM OF 1000 words that provides a critical analysis of an existing risk assessment methodology.  Please use APA format.  Students should do some independent online searches (Google, Bing, etc.) to find an existing risk assessment method that they want to write about and describe.

Its current relevance as discussed by risk experts, and

Its ease of application by the average security officer to critical infrastructure protection and resiliency.

Your analysis should aIDress:

The methodology’s origin,

Intended audience,

A description of the methodology’s main elements and attributes,

A characterization of the methodology’s quantification scheme (i.e., how it aIDs up the risk factors),

Its approach to aggregating threat, vulnerability and consequence into “risk,” and

Its treatment of man-made versus natural hazards, and your personal opinion as to its strengths and weaknesses
