3.During this second session we introduced some key concepts about threat mitigation policy and strategy frameworks, and examples of how they are created and operate.

• What were the main concepts that drove the class instruction and discussion?
• What needs clarification about the lecture and concept(s)?

Please use current examples, separate from the assigned materials. Identify a threat and suggest a framework we discussed to describe how you would utilize stakeholders or other important players to address it.

Your submission to this thread should be no longer than a paragraph or two. Feel free to insert links to your sources and other background materials.

We encourage you to comment on others insights and examples.

Last, don’t hesitate to use the clarification question, either of us will respond.
