FDA Enhances Food Safety

The FDA is combing software and strategic evaluation to provide better surveillance of the food industry with early identification of new hazards and attacks on the food supply. The new system checks for:
Criticality - measure of public health and economic impacts of an attack
Accessibility - ability to physically access and egress from target
Recuperability - ability of system to recover from an attack
Vulnerability - ease of accomplishing attack
Effect - amount of direct loss from an attack as measured by loss in production
Recognizability - ease of identifying target
