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.
