4. Threat Scenario Planning
The following slides highlight major areas of risk or scenarios that
were developed from previous years planning sessions.
The scenarios were revisited and updated at the 2010 strategic

be considered in the development of the current business planning
process and updating of Avsec’ s risk management profile.
