Homeland Security Launches First Online Tool Assessing Stadium Vulnerabilities

Overview The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP) Directorate announced the development of the first online Vulnerability Self-Assessment Tool (VSAT) for stadiums with large seating capacity. Working in close collaboration with the International Association of Assembly Managers (IAAM), this tool allows stadium security managers to identify vulnerabilities and assess the overall security of their public assembly facility. Modeled after self-assessment tools used by the Transportation Security Administration, the online stadium tool was adapted to incorporate industry safety and security best practices for critical infrastructure to assist in establishing a security baseline for each facility.
