The first book to introduce the full spectrum of security and risks and their management In this book, you will learn how to understand, analyze, assess, control, and generally manage security and risks from the personal to the operational. You will develop the practical knowledge and skills you need, including analytical skills, basic mathematical methods for calculating risk in different ways, and more artistic skills in making judgments and decisions about which risks to control and how to control them. 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. *End-of-chapter summaries, exercises, and questions help you master key content. "An enlightening and informative compendium of essential practices across the broad spectrum of security risk management. An excellent addition to any management library resource for their Security Management System, or a primer for introducing new managers to the intricacies of security and risk management." -- John Piper "An extremely well written book which offers the reader a functional comparison of methods of managing risk whilst providing new interpretations on the operational aspects of risk management. The author clearly describes differing standards and helps you navigate and understand the differences between them. An essential for any manager who actively engages in risk management on a daily basis." -- Jennifer Catlin "Bruce Newsome has brought together the leading thinking and best practices in security risk management and synthesized them in a way that the student and practitioner of risk management can glean immediate benefit from the application of Dr. Newsome's systematic approach to the field. For the neophyte this book provides a structure for learning about and understanding the multidimensional sources of security risk; for the practitioner it updates best practices; for the general public it teaches us to see risks not as a paranoid looking into every corner or to facing life looking over one's shoulder, but as an element of management of our life, our work and the societal demands to minimize and manage risks responsibly." -- Frank Plantan "Rich with examples and practical advice, "A Practical Introduction to Security and Risk Management" by Bruce Newsome offers a comprehensive overview of the salient issues relating to risk and security. The material here ties together work that draws from criminology, security studies, risk analysis, and more. The book expertly ties together conceptual, methodological and policy frameworks to produce an essential primer for students, researchers, and practitioners. Dr. Newsome adds important global context by including the standards that have been adopted by different countries to respond to security hazards and threats. This is a must read for anyone interested in risk assessment and management." -- Leslie W. Kennedy
