SendCapacities are the strengths and resources a group or defender can access to achieve a reasonable degree of security. Examples of capacities could be training in security or legal issues, a group working together as a team, access to a phone and safe transportation, to good networks of defenders, to a proper way of dealing with fear, etc.
* In most cases, vulnerabilities and capacities are two sides of the same coin.
For example:
Not knowing enough about your work environment work is a vulnerability, while having this knowledge is a capacity. The same can be said about having or not access to safe transportation or to good networks of defenders. There is a combined check-list of possible vulnerabilities and capacities at the end of this chapter.
* The risk created by threats and vulnerabilities can be reduced if defenders have enough capacities (the more capacities, the lesser the risk).
Risk = threats x vulnerability / capacities
