Handbook of Security Science

This handbook offers insights into how science (physical, natural and social) and technology can support new developments to manage the complexity resident within the threat and risk landscape.

The security landscape can be described as dynamic and complex stemming from the emerging threats and risks that are both persistent and transborder. Globalization, climate change, terrorism, transnational crime can have significant societal impact and forces one to re-evaluate what 'national security' means. Recent global events such as mass migration, terrorist acts, pandemics and cyber threats highlight the inherent vulnerabilities in our current security posture. As an interdisciplinary body of work, the Handbook of Security Science captures concepts, theories and security science applications, thereby providing a survey of current and emerging trends in security. Through an evidence-based approach, the collection of chapters in the book delivers insightful and comprehensive articulation of the problem and solution space associated with the complex security landscape. In so doing the Handbook of Security Science introduces scientific tools and methodologies to inform security management, risk and resilience decision support systems; insights supporting design of security solutions; approaches to threat, risk and vulnerability analysis; articulation of advanced cyber security solutions; and current developments with respect to integrated computational and analytical solutions that increase our understanding of security physical, social, economic, and technological interrelationships and problem space.

這本手冊提供了科學（物理、自然和社會）和技術如何支持管理威脅和風險環境中的複雜性的見解。

安全環境可以被描述為動態和複雜，源於新興的威脅和風險，這些威脅和風險既持續存在又跨國。全球化、氣候變化、恐怖主義、跨國犯罪都可能對社會產生重大影響，迫使人們重新評估“國家安全”的含義。最近的全球事件，如大規模移民、恐怖行為、大流行病和網絡威脅，凸顯了我們當前安全形勢中的固有弱點。作為一個跨學科的工作，安全科學手冊涵蓋了概念、理論和安全科學應用，從而提供了安全領域中當前和新興趨勢的概述。通過基於證據的方法，本書的章節集合提供了對與複雜安全環境相關的問題和解決方案空間的深入和全面的闡述。在此過程中，安全科學手冊介紹了科學工具和方法，以支持安全管理、風險和恢復力決策支持系統；提供支持安全解決方案設計的見解；探討威脅、風險和脆弱性分析的方法；闡述先進的網絡安全解決方案；以及關於整合計算和分析解決方案的當前發展，這些解決方案增加了我們對安全的物理、社會、經濟和技術相互關係和問題空間的理解。
