Metrics and Methods for Security Risk Management (Paperback)

Metrics and Methods for Security Risk Management offers powerful analytic tools that have been absent from traditional security texts. This easy-to-read text provides a handy compendium of scientific principles that affect security threats, and establishes quantitative security metrics that facilitate the development of effective security solutions. Most importantly, this book applies these foundational concepts to information protection, electromagnetic pulse, biological, chemical and radiological weapons, theft, and explosive threats. In addition, this book offers a practical framework for assessing security threats as well as a step-by-step prescription for a systematic risk mitigation process that naturally leads to a flexible model for security standards and audits. This process helps ensure consistency and coherence in mitigating risk as well as in managing complex and/or global security programs. This book promises to be the standard reference in the field and should be in the library of every serious security professional.

* Offers an integrated approach to assessing security risk * Addresses homeland security as well as IT and physical security issues * Describes vital safeguards for ensuring true business continuity

《安全風險管理的指標和方法》提供了傳統安全文獻中缺乏的強大分析工具。這本易於閱讀的書籍提供了一個方便的科學原則手冊，這些原則影響著安全威脅，並建立了促進有效安全解決方案開發的「定量」安全指標。最重要的是，本書將這些基礎概念應用於信息保護、電磁脈衝、生物、化學和放射性武器、盜竊和爆炸威脅。此外，本書還提供了一個評估安全威脅的實用框架，以及一個系統性風險緩解過程的逐步指南，自然地導致了一個靈活的安全標準和審計模型。這個過程有助於確保在緩解風險和管理複雜和/或全球安全計劃方面的一致性和連貫性。這本書承諾成為該領域的「標準參考」，並應該是每個嚴肅的安全專業人士的圖書館藏品中的一部分。
