Operational resilience practitioners in industry, government, and the
military have the unenviable task of recommending and acting upon
priorities to enable their organizations to accomplish their missions
during times of stress. However, for many, a formal method of acquiring
and leveraging objective threat intelligence to support resilience,
risk, and project management has remained elusive. This special report
proposes a framework called Intelligence Preparation for Operational
Resilience (IPOR) to create a model for structured analysis of their
intelligence needs and a way to operationalize threat intelligence once
they have received it. The IPOR references and builds upon frameworks
such as the military’s Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield
process and the CERT® Resilience Management Model to build a structure
to meet this end.
