  2. Geospatial Information Assurance& Security Challenges

  3. Observable factors • transportation schedules • academic textbooks • trade journals • the resources of individuals familiar with the operations of a particular type of facility

  4. Unobservable factors • timely information • the target’s internal features • potential vulnerabilities • current security practices

  5. Benefits of Geo info public safety and transportation access advancing scientific understanding provide economic benefits

  6. Of high value • national monuments • public gathering locations • military installations

  7. RAND SURVEY: • Fewer than 6% of the datasets contained useful potential attack information • They removed the useful and unique information sources. • Diverse alternative information sources exist..
