Risk

The potential for damage to or loss of an asset. Risk, in the context of security, is the potential for a negative outcome to be realized from an intentional act. For chemical and petroleum facilities, examples of the catastrophic outcomes that are typically of interest include an intentional release of hazardous materials to the atmosphere, the theft of hazardous materials that could later be used as improvised weapons, the contamination of hazardous materials that may later harm the public, or the economic costs of the damage or disruption of a process. For the API SRA methodology, risk can be expressed as:
  • existing risk-the estimate of risk with existing countermeasures (R1)-and
  • proposed risk-the estimate of risk with the addition of proposed countermeasures (R2).
