This book describes the risk management methodology as a specific process, a theory, or a procedure for determining your assets, vulnerabilities, and threats and how security professionals can protect them.

Risk Management for Security Professionals is a practical handbook for security managers who need to learn risk management skills. It goes beyond the physical security realm to encompass all risks to which a company may be exposed. Risk Management as presented in this book has several goals:

Provides standardized common approach to risk management through a framework that effectively links security strategies and related costs to realistic threat assessment and risk levels

Offers flexible yet structured framework that can be applied to the risk assessment and decision support process in support of your business or organization

Increases awareness in terms of potential loss impacts, threats and vulnerabilities to organizational assets

Ensures that various security recommendations are based on an integrated assessment of loss impacts, threats, vulnerabilities and resource constraints

Risk management is essentially a process methodology that will provide a cost-benefit payback factor to senior management.
