Infrastructure Protection and Resilience 155 A Facility Security Level matrix, shown in Table 6-4, was developed and comprises five equally weighted security evaluation factors with corresponding points of 1, 2, 3, or 4 allocated for each factor. Recognizing that the criteria cannot capture all the circumstances that could be encountered, the standard includes a sixth factor -- intangibles -- that allows consideration of factors unique to the facility.

158 Update of Security 101: A Physical Security and Cybersecurity Primer for Transportation Agencies Transportation agencies have unique types of buildings and facilities that will demand atypical vulnerability reduction solutions. For example, a toll facility on an Interstate highway will likely require an extensive level of structural hardening, shielding, stress-bearing systems, and anti-ram barriers to protect the toll plaza, collectors, and vehicle occupants from an explosives blast, or to mitigate its effects.
