System and Method for Reducing a Threat Footprint of an Area-of-Interest

Advantages:

The AI-enabled technology automates the risk assessment process and eliminates the need for manual techniques, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error.
By leveraging AI, the technology is able to learn patterns and analyze complex data, uncovering new and previously unrecognized attack paths and strategies.
The methodical approach optimizes the allocation of resources and prescribes effective remediations to reduce the threat footprint of soft targets or crowded places.

Business Summary:

Indoor and outdoor spaces have unfortunately become attractive targets for malicious activities. Safeguarding these publicly accessible areas has become a matter of utmost importance for society. To address this pressing issue, it is crucial to minimize the vulnerability of these soft targets. Traditionally, security advisors have relied on manual techniques and their expertise to assess and manage risks in a specific area of interest (AoI) or venue. However, there is a lack of a standardized approach for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in crowded places and soft targets.

To overcome this limitation, our technology offers a promising solution. By leveraging artificial intelligence, the technology is able to identify vulnerabilities within the AoI and analyze the security strategies employed by the defender, whether it be the venue owner or a security advisor. Our approach involves three key steps:

Conducting an exploratory analysis of potential attacks on the AoI: Our AI-based technology thoroughly examines various attack scenarios that could be carried out within the area of interest. This comprehensive analysis helps us understand the different ways in which malicious actors could exploit vulnerabilities.
Identifying potential attack paths: Building upon the initial analysis, our system identifies the specific routes or paths attackers could follow to carry out their malicious activities. This step helps us better understand the potential threats and how they might unfold.
Prescribing remediations to reduce the threat footprint: Our technology offers targeted recommendations to mitigate the identified vulnerabilities based on the insights gained from the previous steps. These remediation measures are specifically tailored to the AoI and its unique security context, allowing for a more effective reduction of the threat footprint.

Our AI-enabled technology provides a more efficient and reliable approach to risk assessment and vulnerability management for soft targets and crowded places. This innovative approach provides a holistic solution for government agencies, infrastructure operators, and private organizations to mitigate risks and enhance security in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
