Organized into 16 brief chapters, the book shows you how to: analyze security and risk; identify the sources of risk (including hazards, threats, and contributors); analyze exposure and vulnerability; assess uncertainty and probability; develop an organization's culture, structure, and processes congruent with better security and risk management; choose different strategies for managing risks; communicate and review; and manage security in the key domains of operations, logistics, physical sites, information, communications, cyberspace, transport, and personal levels. Key Features The book helps you develop the practical skills you can use to analyze, assess, and act. An easy-to-understand analytic framework shows you how to recognize and deal with risks. Boxed case studies bring concepts to life. Separate boxes compare definitions. Tables compare processes and strategies.
