4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Review after using Risk Analysis and the Security Survey, April 24, 2003 Reviewer:Larry E. Schuck "leschuck3" (Westlake, Ohio United States) - I bought the book to use as a reference while doing my very first risk analysis. It helped me a lot with my project. I found it easy to read and use as a reference. I used the format in the book as a guide when writing up the risk analysis I did. If you haven't done one before and are looking for a good reference guide, this is a great resource.
Product Review
'it provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the vital subjects of risk analysis and the art/science of conducting and producing effective, results-oriented security surveys. It is written to meet the needs of security professionals from student to master. Broder and his contributing authors have addressed today's changes while retaining the spirit, quality, and fundamental principles described in the first edition. As we evolve into an information based society, the principles and advice in this book will serve the reader well, particularly when dealing with the increasing demands of asset protection, information protection, high technology issues, terrorism, and unkown risks. An excellent book in its original iteration, this edition is far superior to the first. It is highly recommended both an as excellent resource and as a study aid the CPP examination.' - Security Management
This text sets out to understand the principles of risk analysis and to relate these to security students and professionals. Its aim is to help those individuals produce more effective results-oriented security surveys geared to the ever-changing needs of the organization. -The Computer Law and Security Report
The text takes the reader through the relevant issues based on a fundamental philosophy of risk control that the program should be as self-sufficient as possible in all matters pertaining to security. -The Computer Law and Security Report
As a study text for those involved in security risk analysis this book would be an important addition to a professional's library, but it would also be very valuable to an investigator involved in post-incident investigations. -The Institute of Professional Investigators
The 1984 edition was still in the ASIS "top-ten" before the compilation of this volume, indicating what security professionals think of it's value as a security text book. -The Institute of Professional Investigators --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Book Description
Security and risk management are principally concerned with the protection and conservation of corporate assets and resources. The task of protection continues to be an increasingly complex one in a time when technology is creating new products (and thus risk) at an explosive rate. Add this to the crime rate -- now aggravated by domestic and international terrorism -- and the importance of risk analysis and evaluation to design proper protection becomes self-evident.
With an awareness of the growing threat of global terrorism, the third edition of RISK ANALYSIS AND THE SECURITY SURVEY has been completely updated. It includes two new chapters covering disaster recover planning, mitigation, and the evolving methodologies that are a result of the Homeland Security Act. The following topics will also be added and covered among the various chapters: contingency planning, testing of disaster response plan, managing during a crisis, maintaining and testing a response plan (team drills, etc.), bomb threats and suicide bombings, and prevention techniques to better prepare business for new post 9/11 security risks.
- Covers business Impact Analysis (BIA), Project Planning, Data Collection, Data Analysis and Report of Findings, and Prediction of Criminal Behavior
- Presents updated statistical information and practical case examples
- Helps professionals and students produce more effective results-oriented security surveys
