Strategies for Protecting National Critical Infrastructure
Assets eases the research burden, develops investigative
protocols, and pulls together data into a comprehensive and
practical guide, to help the serious reader understand advanced
concepts and techniques of risk assessment with an emphasis on
meeting the security needs of the critical national infrastructure.
The text is divided into five major sections, which are further
broken down by individual chapters, each addressing one element of
risk assessment as well as focusing attention on applying the risk
assessment methodology to a particular industry. This book
establishes a new and acceptable approach for conducting risk
assessments in a high-risk world.

* Helps the reader to understand advanced concepts and techniques
of risk assessment

* Provides a quick, reliable, and practical "briefcase" reference
to use in the office as well as on the road

* Introduces the elements of the risk assessment process by
defining its purpose and objectives, describing the behavioural and
physical sciences, the techniques employed in the process, and the
measurement and evaluation tools and standards used to perform an
objective risk assessment.
