Phrobus, Inc. is a Risk Management corporation. We are a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business with the resources necessary to quickly assemble a specialized team capable of undertaking challenging domestic and international security missions. As federal, state and local government agencies and other organizations implement comprehensive homeland security strategies, they must reassess their institutional capabilities and develop improved strategies that support the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Existing programs must continually be evaluated and updated, employing risk-based decision-making implementation.

As Phrobus, Inc. (formerly known in the security industry as Coulter Consulting) has grown, so has its level of expertise. By applying up-to-date expertise, knowledge and sound judgment, Phrobus, Inc. can assist managers to address the risks that their organizations face each and every day.
    

  The events of
  September 11,
  2001 forced a
  paradigm shift
upon government entities at all levels. Agencies can no longer rely on defensive and recovery methods alone; rather, efforts must also involve aggressive risk management approaches, both domestically and internationally.

The Department of Homeland Security’s national strategy now requires agencies to increase their level of understanding to effectively assess potential terrorist threats, as well as non-terrorist threats that have the potential to reach catastrophic levels.

Risk is a function of threat, vulnerability, and consequence. As such, risk management provides information for decision makers to address challenges that face critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR). While such methodology may appear simple, the implications for ignoring this risk management process are infinite.

The use of this risk management process presumes knowledge of incident probability, which is far more extensive and precise than exists in reality. Subjective judgments have to be used in many situations to determine the likelihood of the occurrence of an event, as well as its severity. Phrobus, Inc. uses systematic approaches to estimating risk both qualitatively and quantitatively by using subject matter experts in conjunction with appropriate decision-making tools.
