From page 95... ... 98 This table describes individual countermeasures weighted according to six factors: ease of use, industry use, time to implement, labor intensiveness, cost, and overall effectiveness. The total countermeasure score represents the overall strength of the countermeasure in terms of its performance in each area. Read the entire page →
