© 2001 Carnegie Mellon University S8A-16 Creating Mitigation Plans Develop mitigation plans for each critical asset considering actions to recognize or detect this threat type as it occurs actions to resist this threat type or prevent it from occurring actions to recover from this threat type if it occurs other actions to address this threat type

© 2001 Carnegie Mellon University S8A-17 Action List Defines the near-term actions that the organization’s staff can take Actions on the action list generally don’t require specialized training, policy changes, or changes to roles and responsibilities.

© 2001 Carnegie Mellon University S8A-18 Creating an Action List Develop an action list considering near-term actions that need to be taken who will be responsible for the actions by when the actions need to be addressed any actions that management needs to take to facilitate this activity

© 2001 Carnegie Mellon University S8A-19 Summary We have completed the following in this workshop: developed a protection strategy for the organization developed mitigation plans for the risks to the critical assets developed a list of near-term action items
