Methods and systems for assessing security risks
First Claim
1. A method of assessing security risks comprising:
- selecting a site for evaluation;
surveying the site, wherein surveying the site includes collecting survey data of the site;
gathering information about an area around the site;
combining the collected survey data with the information gathered about the area around the site; and
assessing the security risks of the site using the combined collected survey data with the information gathered about the area around the site.

Abstract
The assessment of security risks associated with linear corridors, such as transportation corridors and utilities corridors, is provided. Initially, a site is selected for evaluation. Survey data and context sensitive information, such as demographic information, environmental information, corridor asset information, and the like, is collected for the site. Linear corridors are identified within the data, and critical assets within each linear corridor are also identified. Security risks associated with linear corridors may then be assessed using the survey data and context sensitive information. In addition, mitigation strategies, response strategies, and recovery strategies may be developed for the security risks assessed for the linear corridors.

8. A method of assessing security risks associated with at least one linear corridor, the method comprising:
-
selecting at least one linear corridor for evaluation;
surveying the at least one linear corridor, wherein surveying the at least one linear corridor includes collecting survey data of the at least one linear corridor;
gathering context sensitive information associated with the at least one linear corridor;
combining the survey data and context sensitive information; and
assessing security risks of the at least one linear corridor using the combined survey data and context sensitive information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, implementable at least in part in a computing environment, for assessing security risks associated with a linear corridor, the method comprising:
-
accessing information associated with the linear corridor, wherein the information comprises combined survey data and context sensitive information associated with the linear corridor;
presenting the information associated with the linear corridor in a user interface, thereby allowing a user to view the linear corridor in the context of the information; and
assessing the security risks associated with the linear corridor using the combined survey data and context sensitive information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for providing one or more user interfaces facilitating the assessment of security risks for one or more linear corridors, the one or more user interfaces comprising:
-
a navigation window configured to present geospatial data for an area associated with one or more linear corridors, wherein the navigation window is further configured to allow a user to navigate the area; and
an attributes area configured to present information associated with the area presented in the navigation window; and
wherein at least one of the navigation window and attributes area are further configured to present risk assessment information associated with the one or more linear corridors.
