Product Description
Review
Security is an element of risk management, asserts James F. Broder in the third edition of his classic Risk Analysis and the Security Survey. And he ably backs up that statement in this wonderfully written book, which should be required reading for all current and future security professionals.-Jerry D. Loghry, Security Management, March 2007
Product 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. It covers Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Project Planning, Data Collection, Data Analysis and Report of Findings, and Prediction of Criminal Behavior. It presents updated statistical information and practical case examples, and helps professionals and students produce more effective results-oriented security surveys.

clear direction on putting together a security survey
13 Aug 2002
Format:Hardcover
I have prepared several security surveys throughout the last couple of years and have always found that they were missing something. Once I started looking through this book I was given clear direction on the useful information required when conducting a security survey.
This book describes all the main sections required for a security review: Scoop of the project, organization assesment and requirements, physical security, internal controls, data system and records, emergency planning, and proprietary information, business impact analysis, survey questionary, etc.
This book goes into details on planning and analysis but does not give detailed techniques on aquireing information or what an effective security system looks like. It assumes the reader has a strong security background and is able to handle the details of investigation, interviewing, testing and evaluation. This book only touches on these topics.

Review after using Risk Analysis and the Security Survey
24 April 2003
Format:Hardcover
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.

The must have book for security professionals filled with the essence of commercial appraisals for threat sources.
23 April 2010
Format:Hardcover
The must have book for security professionals filled with the essence of commercial appraisals for threat sources.
Highly technical from a security perspective but lacking real world application or areas for concession if not viable to implement the Rolls Royce solution in every instance. Considerable cross referencing required or commercial experience necessary to really benefit from this text book.
