Webinar on The Survivability Analysis Framework

Date: Thursday October 1, 2009
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Cost: Complimentary



Complexity and change pervade today's organizations. With the increase in net-centric operations, technology plays an increasing role in normal operations and crises response. Few techniques can address the analysis of this mixture of people, processes, and technology that must interact effectively for mission success. Each component can be managed independently resulting in unexpected impacts as uncoordinated changes are implemented.

The Survivability Analysis Framework (SAF), an analysis approach developed by the SEI, prescribes a sequence of steps to assemble an operational view of these components that can be evaluated for operational response to change.

This webinar will introduce attendees to the analysis framework and how it has been applied by DoD to analyze operational survivability and information assurance as interoperability increases.

Dr. Carol Woody is a senior member of the CERT technical staff. She has more than 25 years of experience in software development and project management leading acquisitions and implementations in industry and government.  Dr. Woody leads the Survivability Analysis Team in the Networked Systems Survivability Program. Her current research is focused on software assurance and approaches to software design that improve operational security. She has led five pilot projects successfully applying SAF to a range of complex government operational environments.
