CARVER
 
CARVER
 is
 a
 methodology
 first
 used
 by
 the
 Department
 of
 Defense
 Special
 Forces
 to
 
rank
 targets
 so
 that
 their
 resources
 could
 be
 used
 efficiently.
 The
 user
 would
 
estimate
 Criticality,
 Accessibility,
 Recuperability,
 Vulnerability,
 Effect,
 and
 
Recognizability
 as
 nominal
 scores
 that
 were
 added
 and
 then
 ranked.
 The
 
methodology
 was
 later
 adapted
 for
 Homeland
 Security.
 The
 CARVER
 tool
 that
 was
 
used
 by
 practitioners
 had
 proprietary
 data
 tables
 behind
 it
 to
 weigh
 user
 inputs
 
appropriately.
 This
 tool
 makes
 those
 tables
 available
 so
 that
 the
 user
 can
 
experiment
 with
 weighting
 and
 modeling
 if
 desired.
 
 

Using
 the
 Tool
 
For
 this
 simple
 tool,
 only
 one
 asset
 can
 be
 evaluated
 for
 each
 spreadsheet.
 To
 
evaluate
 a
 set
 of
 assets,
 we
 recommend
 making
 a
 number
 of
 copies
 of
 the
 Excel
 file
 
with
 one
 evaluation
 for
 each
 file.
 All
 data
 is
 input
 into
 the
 Worksheet
 tab
 while
 all
 
the
 tables
 are
 on
 the
 Tables
 tab.
 The
 Menu
 Items
 and
 Results
 tabs
 are
 used
 to
 
store
 values
 temporarily
 and
 are
 it
 is
 not
 recommended
 that
 users
 modify
 these.
 

 
To
 begin,
 input
 enough
 data
 to
 uniquely
 identify
 the
 asset
 to
 be
 evaluated.
 This
 is
 
not
 used
 in
 any
 calculation
 so
 not
 all
 is
 required,
 but
 at
 a
 minimum,
 a
 unique
 name
 is
 
helpful.
 You
 may
 also
 place
 this
 asset
 into
 a
 specific
 sector.
 

 
Criticality
 assesses
 the
 impact
 of
 the
 loss
 of
 this
 asset.
 Note
 that
 CARVER
 is
 not
 
threat
 mode
 specific
 so
 you
 are
 to
 consider
 any
 threat
 possible.
 
 

• Users
 Affected
 is
 not
 casualties,
 but
 rather
 people
 impacted
 by
 the
 loss
 of
 this
 
asset.
 If
 it
 is
 a
 bridge
 and
 100,000
 people
 will
 not
 be
 able
 to
 get
 to
 work,
 then
 
these
 people
 are
 affected.
 
 

• Economic
 Loss
 and
 Rebuild
 Cost
 is
 and
 estimate
 of
 the
 financial
 damage
 
associated
 with
 the
 loss
 of
 this
 asset.
 Economic
 loss
 and
 rebuild
 cost
 are
 
summed
 together
 in
 this
 estimate,
 so
 be
 sure
 that
 if
 you
 include
 economic
 
loss
 for
 one
 asset,
 you
 include
 it
 throughout
 your
 assessment.
 

• Potential
 Deaths
 form
 Attack
 is
 an
 estimate
 of
 casualties
 associated
 with
 an
 
attack
 on
 this
 asset.
 Again,
 CARVER
 is
 not
 threat
 specific
 so
 assume
 worst
 
case
 scenario.
 

 
Accessibility
 allows
 you
 to
 indicate
 what
 security
 may
 be
 in
 place
 to
 limit
 access
 to
 
this
 asset.
 You
 may
 choose
 from
 Patrolled,
 Perimeter
 Fencing,
 Armed
 Security,
 
Unarmed
 Security,
 Access
 Control,
 Alarm
 System,
 Locked
 Area,
 Open
 to
 the
 Public,
 
and
 No
 Control.
 

 
Recoverability
 is
 the
 time
 needed
 to
 replace
 or
 repair
 this
 asset,
 if
 possible.
 Choose
 
an
 estimate
 from
 the
 menu.
 

 

Vulnerability
 is
 the
 susceptibility
 of
 this
 asset
 to
 damage
 or
 destruction.
 Ignore
 
anything
 related
 to
 access
 (we
 covered
 that
 under
 Accessibility)
 and
 focus
 instead
 
on
 features
 of
 the
 asset
 that
 will
 help
 it
 to
 withstand
 or
 survive
 an
 attack.
 
 

• Massive
 refers
 to
 the
 size
 of
 the
 structure.
 A
 massive
 structure,
 like
 a
 major
 
bridge,
 has
 low
 vulnerability
 due
 to
 its
 size.
 

• Building
 Purpose
 Unknown
 to
 Public
 would
 be
 like
 a
 water
 pumping
 station
 
that
 looks
 like
 a
 non-­‐descript
 house
 in
 a
 neighborhood.
 

• Operations
 Structurally
 Dispersed
 would
 be
 a
 facility
 that
 has
 a
 back-­‐up
 
location
 or
 can
 otherwise
 function
 without
 all
 of
 its
 parts
 operating
 at
 the
 
same
 time.
 

• Concrete/Stone
 refers
 to
 the
 structural
 material
 used
 in
 the
 asset.
 
• Structural
 Steel
 also
 refers
 to
 the
 structural
 material
 used
 in
 the
 asset.
 
• Flammable/Explosive
 should
 be
 selected
 if
 either
 the
 asset
 itself
 burns
 easily
 

or
 if
 it
 contains
 materials
 that
 burn
 easily
 or
 are
 potentially
 explosive.
 
 
• Minor
 Metal
 Frame
 again
 refers
 to
 the
 structural
 material
 used
 in
 the
 asset.
 
• Wood
 Design
 refers
 to
 the
 structural
 material
 used
 in
 the
 asset.
 
• No
 Security
 Design
 means
 that
 there
 is
 nothing
 special
 in
 the
 design
 of
 this
 

asset
 to
 reduce
 vulnerability.
 

 
Espyability
 refers
 to
 whether
 or
 not
 the
 asset
 is
 merely
 functional
 or
 if
 it
 has
 iconic
 
status
 at
 the
 Local,
 State,
 Regional,
 National,
 or
 World
 level.

Redundancy
 is
 an
 estimate
 of
 the
 percentage
 overlap
 or
 back-­‐up
 capacity
 there
 is
 to
 
offset
 the
 loss
 of
 this
 asset.
 
 

 
Interdependency
 is
 a
 list
 of
 sectors
 that
 might
 be
 interdependent
 with
 this
 asset.
 
For
 example,
 if
 this
 is
 a
 power
 station,
 it
 might
 be
 interdependent
 with
 the
 water
 
sector,
 commercial
 facilities,
 defense
 industrial
 base,
 etc.
 Interdependency
 is
 not
 
calculated
 into
 the
 CARVER
 score
 but
 is
 represented
 by
 the
 smaller
 number
 in
 the
 
score.
 A
 CARVER
 score
 of
 122-­‐5
 means
 that
 this
 asset
 has
 a
 score
 of
 122
 with
 5
 
interdependencies.
 

 
CARVER
 scores
 are
 calculated
 but
 are
 dimensionless.
 The
 score
 does
 not
 represent
 
Risk,
 Resilience,
 Vulnerability,
 or
 anything
 else.
 The
 higher
 the
 score,
 the
 more
 likely
 

that
 asset
 may
 require
 resourcing.
 But
 you
 cannot
 say
 that
 an
 asset
 with
 a
 score
 of
 
100
 is
 half
 as
 important
 as
 an
 asset
 with
 a
 score
 of
 200.
 
 

Modifications
 
The
 best
 place
 to
 experiment
 with
 CARVER
 is
 in
 the
 Tables
 tab.
 Here
 you
 will
 see
 all
 
of
 the
 categories
 we
 just
 described
 here
 with
 all
 of
 the
 items
 in
 the
 menus
 that
 you
 
can
 select.
 Notice
 that
 for
 each
 menu
 selection,
 there
 is
 an
 associated
 Score.
 
 Do
 not
 
change
 the
 Value
 column.
 That
 is
 there
 as
 an
 identifier
 for
 that
 menu
 selection.
 But
 
do
 experiment
 with
 changing
 the
 Scores.
 
 

 
Should
 a
 criticality
 that
 impacts
 500,000
 people
 (score
 of
 40)
 be
 only
 four
 times
 
higher
 than
 that
 for
 25,000
 people
 (score
 of
 10)?
 Maybe
 it
 should
 be
 higher.
 
Experiment
 with
 changing
 scores.
 Test
 your
 configurations
 with
 a
 set
 of
 assets
 to
 
make
 sure
 that
 it
 makes
 sense.
 Does
 the
 overall
 CARVER
 score
 go
 up
 when
 you
 
expect
 it
 to?
 Does
 it
 decrease
 when
 you
 expect
 it
 to?
 By
 default,
 the
 data
 tables
 we
 
provide
 are
 all
 independent
 but
 they
 don’t
 have
 to
 be.
 You
 could
 experiment
 by
 
having
 a
 score
 linked
 to
 another
 value.
 For
 example,
 what
 if
 you
 wanted
 the
 
Criticality
 score
 to
 be
 higher
 if
 the
 Recoverability
 time
 was
 longer?
 How
 would
 you
 
do
 that?

Multi-­‐Criteria
 Assessment
 Methodology
 
This
 multi-­‐criteria
 tool
 is
 an
 example
 of
 a
 simple
 risk-­‐based
 model
 that
 assesses
 
assets
 independently
 but
 with
 multiple
 measures.
 For
 this
 example,
 we
 used
 a
 
subset
 of
 the
 MSRAM
 model,
 at
 least
 in
 the
 way
 MSRAM
 models
 risk
 and
 its
 
components.
 

Description
 

 
Asset
 is
 a
 unique
 name
 of
 the
 asset
 to
 be
 evaluated.
 
 
Attack
 Mode
 is
 a
 description
 of
 the
 type
 of
 attack
 being
 considered.
 Multiple
 attack
 
modes
 can
 be
 considered
 for
 any
 asset.
 

We
 consider
 Asset
 +
 Attack
 Mode
 as
 the
 key
 data
 pair
 that
 uniquely
 identifies
 
one
 assessment.
 An
 electrical
 switching
 station
 could
 be
 paired
 with
 an
 
explosive
 device,
 a
 SCADA
 attack,
 or
 other
 mode,
 each
 of
 which
 would
 be
 
considered
 separately.
 

 
We
 use
 the
 standard
 equation
 for
 Risk
 

 

R
 =
 T
 *
 V
 *
 C
 where
 

 
T
 is
 Threat,
 V
 is
 Vulnerability,
 and
 C
 is
 Consequence.
 The
 components
 of
 each
 is
 
described
 below.
 

 
Threat
 is
 the
 percentage
 product
 of
 Intent
 and
 Capability.
 
 

• Intent
 is
 the
 probability
 that
 a
 person
 or
 group
 would
 want
 to
 damage
 or
 
destroy
 this
 asset.
 High
 intent
 would
 imply
 knowledge
 of
 an
 impending
 
attack
 or
 a
 credible
 threat.
 

• Capability
 is
 the
 probability
 that
 a
 person
 or
 group
 would
 have
 the
 
capability
 to
 execute
 this
 attack.
 Note
 that
 this
 requires
 an
 attack
 mode.
 The
 
capability
 of
 a
 group
 to
 obtain
 small
 explosives
 is
 likely
 to
 be
 higher
 than
 
their
 capability
 to
 obtain
 radioactive
 material.
 

Vulnerability
 is
 the
 percentage
 product
 of
 Achievability
 and
 Target
 Hardness.
 
• Achievability
 is
 the
 probability
 of
 successful
 attack
 assuming
 no
 security
 

measures.
 Do
 not
 consider
 existing
 security
 features
 such
 as
 fencing,
 key
 card
 
control,
 CCTV,
 etc.
 Assume
 that
 this
 person
 or
 group
 gains
 access
 to
 this
 asset
 
with
 a
 small
 explosive
 device
 (for
 example).
 What
 is
 the
 likelihood
 that
 it
 
would
 successfully
 disable
 the
 asset?
 

• Target
 Hardness
 is
 the
 probability
 that
 the
 target
 cannot
 withstand
 the
 
attack.
 Note
 this
 implies
 that
 a
 lower
 value
 means
 a
 harder
 target.
 An
 asset
 
with
 stand-­‐off
 barriers
 and
 physical
 patrols
 would
 have
 a
 lower
 target
 
hardness
 value
 than
 one
 with
 only
 light
 fencing.
 

Consequence
 is
 the
 sum
 of
 all
 consequence
 category
 estimates.
 All
 categories
 must
 
be
 translated
 to
 a
 single
 unit
 (e.g.
 dollars,
 millions
 of
 dollars,
 lives).
 

• Death/Injury
 is
 the
 number
 of
 casualties
 that
 would
 be
 expected
 as
 a
 result
 
of
 this
 attack
 on
 this
 asset.
 We
 use
 a
 value
 per
 statistical
 life
 (VSL)
 of
 $6.5M
 
but
 this
 can
 be
 adjusted.
 

• Economic
 Loss
 is
 the
 estimated
 value
 of
 loss
 due
 to
 attack.
 This
 should
 
include
 the
 damage
 to
 the
 asset
 itself
 but
 could
 also
 include
 “downstream”
 
economic
 damages.
 For
 example,
 if
 a
 bridge
 is
 disabled,
 the
 cost
 to
 repair
 the
 
bridge
 could
 be
 added
 to
 the
 estimated
 loss
 of
 commerce
 over
 the
 time
 it
 
takes
 to
 repair
 the
 bridge
 to
 estimate
 this
 value.
 It
 is
 important
 to
 be
 
consistent
 throughout
 all
 entries
 in
 this
 column.
 

• Environmental
 is
 the
 estimated
 value
 of
 the
 environmental
 impact
 of
 this
 
attack
 on
 this
 asset.
 If
 there
 is
 no
 environmental
 impact,
 then
 this
 can
 be
 zero.
 
In
 cases
 where
 a
 post-­‐event
 clean
 up
 must
 be
 performed,
 as
 would
 be
 the
 
case
 in
 a
 radiological,
 chemical,
 or
 biological
 attack,
 this
 could
 be
 very
 high.
 

• National
 Security
 is
 the
 estimated
 value
 of
 the
 impact
 of
 this
 attack
 on
 this
 
asset
 on
 national
 security.
 An
 attack
 on
 a
 port
 facility,
 for
 example,
 might
 
have
 a
 large
 impact
 national
 security,
 whereas
 an
 attack
 on
 a
 water
 
treatment
 plant
 may
 have
 a
 smaller
 estimated
 value.
 

• Symbolic
 is
 the
 estimated
 value
 of
 impact
 due
 to
 the
 symbolic
 value
 of
 this
 
target.
 Damage
 to
 an
 iconic
 bridge
 would
 be
 estimated
 higher
 than
 a
 generic
 
bridge.
 Damage
 to
 a
 national
 monument
 would
 have
 value
 here
 where
 it
 may
 
not
 have
 value
 elsewhere.
 

 
Total
 is
 the
 Risk
 calculation
 for
 this
 Asset-­‐Attack
 Mode
 pair.
 It
 is
 computed,
 not
 
input
 by
 the
 user.
 Assuming
 that
 consequence
 values
 were
 given
 in
 dollars,
 then
 the
 
Risk
 calculation
 is
 also
 in
 dollars.
 

 
You
 may
 use
 the
 Sort
 function
 in
 Excel
 to
 sort
 the
 table
 on
 Total
 in
 order
 to
 quickly
 
identify
 the
 Asset-­‐Attack
 Mode
 pairs
 with
 the
 highest
 calculated
 Risk.
 

Modifications
 
This
 simple
 tool
 was
 built
 with
 the
 intention
 that
 it
 would
 be
 modified
 to
 meet
 
specific
 uses.
 
 

 
1. If
 the
 components
 of
 T,
 C,
 or
 C
 are
 not
 desired,
 then
 the
 user
 may
 directly
 input
 

percentage
 values
 (0-­‐100)
 in
 columns
 E
 or
 H.
 For
 consequence,
 a
 C
 can
 be
 
directly
 input
 into
 column
 N
 or
 any
 of
 the
 columns
 I
 through
 M
 may
 be
 discarded
 
if
 not
 needed.
 The
 tool
 will
 sum
 what
 values
 are
 given.
 

2. If
 you
 wish
 to
 add
 another
 component
 to
 Threat
 or
 Vulnerability,
 you
 may
 do
 so
 
by
 adding
 a
 new
 column
 under
 that
 category,
 in
 either
 the
 red
 or
 yellow
 regions.
 
Make
 sure
 that
 you
 adjust
 the
 Score
 column
 to
 include
 the
 new
 column.
 Also
 
make
 sure
 that
 the
 new
 component
 is
 a
 percentage
 value
 so
 that
 it
 can
 be
 
multiplied
 without
 affecting
 the
 other
 components.
 

3. You
 may
 also
 add
 components
 to
 Consequence
 easily.
 Add
 a
 column
 into
 the
 blue
 
region,
 and
 make
 sure
 that
 the
 Score
 column
 in
 blue
 includes
 the
 new
 column(s)
 
in
 the
 sum.
 It
 should
 do
 that
 by
 default.
