Bald Tire Scenario

As you proceed through each of the steps within the scenario below, ask yourself how much risk is associated with what’s being described.

Picture in your mind a bald car tire. Imagine that it’s so bald you can hardly tell that it ever had tread. How much risk is there?
Next, imagine that the bald tire is tied to a rope hanging from a tree branch. How much risk is there?
Next, imagine that the rope is frayed about halfway through, just below where it’s tied to the tree branch. How much risk is there?

Finally, imagine that the tire swing is suspended over an 80-foot cliff – with sharp rocks below. How much risk is there?

Now, identify the following components within the scenario. What were the threats; the vulnerabilities; the risks?
