Description

This new edition of Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection presents updated case studies and introduces existing and new methodologies and technologies for addressing existing and future threats. It covers risk analysis methodologies approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and shows how to apply them to other organizations, public and private. It also helps the reader understand which methodologies are best to use for a particular facility and demonstrates how to develop an efficient security system.

Drawing on over 35 years of experience in the security industry, Thomas L. Norman provides a single, comprehensive reference manual for risk analysis, countermeasure selection, and security program development. The security industry has a number of practitioners and consultants who lack appropriate training in risk analysis and whose services sometimes suffer from conflicts of interest that waste organizations' money and time. Norman seeks to fill the void in risk analysis training for those security consultants, thereby reducing organizations' wasting of resources and potential vulnerability. This book helps you find ways to minimize cost and time spent in analyzing and countering security threats.

Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection, Second Edition gives invaluable insight into the risk analysis process while showing how to use analyses to identify and create the most cost efficient countermeasures. It leads you from a basic to an advanced level of understanding of the risk analysis process. The case studies illustrate how to put each theory into practice, including how to choose and implement countermeasures and how to create budgets that allow you to prioritize assets according to their relative risk and select appropriate countermeasures according to their cost effectiveness.

Reviews

"This book, like its predecessor, will become a desk reference used by security professionals everywhere. Like any great reference work, it will be dog-eared, feathered with Post-It Notes, with handwriting scrawled in the margins."
-Ross Johnson

Praise for the First Edition:"Thomas L. Norman's Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection is a relentlessly practical book intended to aid security consultants"
-Jim Harper, The CATO Institute, US Counter-Terrorism Strategy and al-Qaeda, 2010

"... by following the guidance laid out in this detailed book, security managers can do it themselves with software that's probably already on their office computers... There is no doubt that Norman himself spent considerable time devising the process, which he presents in the book. He provides step-by-step lists for building various matrices ... definitely a book for the advanced security practitioner. ... it outlines an excellent methodology and is well worth the effort required to read it and work through the process outlined by the author."
- Glen Kitteringham, CPP, President of Kitteringham Security Group Inc., in Security Management, January 2011

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
