The alert level is set jointly by the Department of Safety, NH Information and Analysis Center (NH-IAC) and the Department of Information Technology, IT Security Group. Using the concepts of Criticality (the attack target), Lethality (the likelihood for damage), System Countermeasures (host-based preventative measures that are in place), and Network Countermeasures (network-based preventative measures that are in place), an equation has been developed: Severity = (Criticality + Lethality) (System Countermeasures + Network Countermeasures). As a result, the severity level can range between -8 to +8, where -8 to -5 equates to Low/Green, -4 to -2 equates to Guarded/Blue, -1 to +2 equates to Elevated/Yellow, +3 to +5 equates to High/Orange, and +6 to +8 equates to Severe/Red.
