Product Description

The risk management process supports executive decision-making, allowing managers and owners to perform their fiduciary responsibility of protecting the assets of their enterprises. This crucial process should not be a long, drawn-out affair. To be effective, it must be done quickly and efficiently. "Information Security Risk Analysis, Second Edition" enables CIOs, CSOs, and MIS managers to understand when, why, and how risk assessments and analyses can be conducted effectively. This book discusses the principle of risk management and its three key elements: risk analysis, risk assessment, and vulnerability assessment. It examines the differences between quantitative and qualitative risk assessment, and details how various types of qualitative risk assessment can be applied to the assessment process. The text offers a thorough discussion of recent changes to FRAAP and the need to develop a pre-screening method for risk assessment and business impact analysis.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mighty expensive for what it is, 21 April 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Information Security Risk Analysis (Paperback)
One of the areas of computing which have been neglected by book writers is security managment. However, there are a trickle of books over the last five years which address this very important issue. Security risk analysis is one which lies at the heart of security managment and Peltier is one of the first to try and write something coherent. Before the criticism it is worth saying that this book is moderately well written and technically correct. However, it is rather bloated: I could have written the book in fifty pages. For example there is a glossary which I see no need for which contains entries such as the definition of thunder as 'The sound produced by a stroke of lightning as it repidly (sic) heats the air surrounding the bolt' It is also a little muddled at times dealing with more than just security. In the end I resented paying forty odd pounds for a book whose essence could be summed up in fifty pages. I would have given three stars (just) if the price was below twenty pounds.
