CARVER System: The CARVER system is a risk assessment tool used to evaluate potential targets based on six criteria: Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect, and Recognizability.
Criteria Explanation:
Criticality: The importance of the system or asset to the organization’s operations.
Accessibility: The ease with which the system or asset can be accessed or attacked.
Recuperability: The ability to recover from damage or disruption.
Vulnerability: The susceptibility of the system or asset to damage or disruption.
Effect: The impact of the damage or disruption on the organization.
Recognizability: The ease with which the system or asset can be identified as a target.
Application: Using these criteria helps HR managers and security professionals prioritize risks and allocate resources effectively to protect critical systems and assets within the organization.
Best Practices: Regularly conducting CARVER assessments allows organizations to identify and mitigate potential risks proactively, ensuring the continuity and security of their operations.
