The risk management model chosen is the fault trees (attack trees). According to the textbook reading (cite), the fault trees model assesses all the pathways that an attack could happen. In this case, the risk chosen is terrorist attack, just like the one that happened on September 11. Terrorists are always embracing new ways of perpetrating attacks, and therefore, they will identify loopholes in the security system to carry out attacks, especially when people least expect (Reznikov, Makhutov, & Rasim, 2018). On the same note, the main aim of terrorists is to conduct attacks on places they are guarded the least, as long as they send their message and cause destruction as well as pain. According to Břeň and Zeman (2017), terrorists are, therefore, likely to attack places of worship where there are many people, and to make a statement. It is important for places that seem to have the least target to be guarded and protected because sooner than later, they may become targets and the loss may be immense. Some terrorists such as the IS, have an agenda to establish a caliphate, which is, an objective to ensure that most people in the world embrace a particular religion, and will, therefore, try to attack other religious affiliations. The threat is immense especially when looking from a perspective of home-grown terrorism.
It is, therefore, important for the federal government to fund the state to buy surveillance equipment, to hire technology experts, as well as security agents to conduct surveillance on places where people gather especially churches. Apart from just guarding such facilities, the additional experts as well as the equipment will help analyze and assess all the pathways in which the terrorist activity can happen. After the analysis, various teams of people will be given the mandate of creating strategies to prevent the attacks from happening. It is best to block all the pathways before the attack happens other than waiting to deal with the actual situation.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
