What is MIC Mitigation?

MIC mitigation includes physical, chemical, operational and design stage mitigation methods. Selection of the best mitigation methods depends highly on the quality of the MIC threat assessment that should be performed prior to selecting mitigation methods. Companies spend millions of dollars per year on chemical treatment but in many cases cannot be assured that the treatment is actually working as intended. Whenever mitigation methods are applied, the means to assess their effectiveness needs to be considered.
