Arthur D. Little, Inc.
FaultrEASE (pronounced fall-TREES ) is a program for creating, editing, and computing fault trees. It allows you to create, edit, and draw fault trees with a minimum of effort. In particular, fault tree editing is very simple and quick. You can move symbols around in your tree, and the program will automatically re-balance the whole tree. Entire branches can be moved in the same way. In other words, FaultrEASE takes care of laying out your graphics for you, allowing you to focus on the logic. FaultrEASE performs fault tree mathematics, including mixed probability and frequency calculations, and cut-sets. For trees with repeated events, reduction is achieved using direct evaluation. This method is faster and more accurate than Boolean reduction. The company also produces CEGIS, an energy and greenhouse gas inventory tool. For more information on FaultrEASE, contact Susan Ferola, e-mail ferola.susan@adl.com, telephone (617) 498-5858,

INCOM supplies multi-user Risk Register software to manage general organisational risks following the world's leading risk management standards. While it is difficult to identify risks and correctly assess them, experience has shown that analysis of cost effectiveness and ongoing management of risk treatments (risk mitigation) is a complex issue. People may be good at assessing risks, but not necessarily effective at remembering to review them or to follow up on the effectiveness of risk treatments. In today's volatile security and financial environment, risk management systems must be capable of wider functionality, be database driven, and be available to many people in the organisation. Risk Register manages risk treatment cost effectiveness, monitoring, and tracking. These activities can be the most complex and labour intensive for risk personnel and the most costly for organisations. Contact Incom: e-mail david.watson@incom.com.au, telephone +612 9417 2480.

International Security Technology, Inc.
CORA® (Cost-of-Risk Analysis) is a powerful risk management decision support system that helps risk managers to optimize strategies for mitigation and transfer of, and recovery from operational risks of all kinds. CORA risk management projects are two-step processes. First, it provides a convenient context for risk analysts to organize, collect, store, validate, and collate the data that describe the risks and loss exposures of an organization. It then uses sophisticated algorithms to construct a quantitative risk model using these data. Specifically it calculates Single Occurrence Loss (SOL), and Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) for the organization, and then displays the results in tabular and graphic form. Second, risk managers use the CORA quantitative risk model to evaluate the cost-benefit of proposed risk management measures to identify the optimum package. It can estimate the Return On Investment (ROI) of risk mitigation and risk transfer actions. For example, CORA can identify insurance policies with a positive ROI, and it can also estimate IT system availability, taking into account all the threats that cause service interruptions. Finally, CORA can analyze alternate business continuity plans and determine the optimum Recovery Time Objective for IT systems taking into account both loss reduction and implementation costs.
