LLC - Logical Link Control (ASME-ITI) to develop an automated, all-hazards vulnerability and risk assessment tool to analyze and manage risks to infrastructure assets and systems. Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP RAMCAP Rapid Molded Core Assembly Process RAMCAP Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Assets Protection (US Department of Homeland Security) RAMCAP Risk Adjusted Multiple Capital Asset Allocation Program [TM]) is the process cited in the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Protection Plan for analyzing risks associated with terrorist attacks. Alion, an employee-owned, technology solutions company, and ASME-ITI have automated the manual, paper-based RAMCAP process and extended the methodology with the development of RAMCAP Plus[TM], a Web-based tool that evaluates a wide assortment of risks, including terrorist attacks, natural and unintentional hazards and common crimes. "RAMCAP Plus provides a mechanism for computing the likelihood of a threat occurring, a robust cost-benefit analysis cost-benefit analysis In governmental planning and budgeting, the attempt to measure the social benefits of a proposed project in monetary terms and compare them with its costs. tool, a business continuity assessment tool and a limited analysis of risks due to interdependencies with other infrastructures," said Rear Adm.

RAMCAP Plus will enable users to conduct an all-hazards risk assessment, starting with the identification of critical assets and culminating in the management of risk for the entire facility. This is the first commercially available software to automate the RAMCAP process, which is the foundation for the newly released DHS DHS Department of Homeland Security (USA) DHS Department of Human Services DHS Department of Health Services DHS Demographic and Health Surveys DHS Dirhams (Morocco national currency) chemical security regulations. "This new software will support efforts by chemical companies to effectively and efficiently reduce risk, increase resilience and improve the safety of the workplace and surrounding communities," said Jake Stenzler, Director of Technology Development at ASME-ITI.
