principles of risk analysis to security students and professionals, which will help them
produce more effective, results-oriented security surveys geared to the ever-changing needs
of the organization. The most fundamental philosophy of risk control, design and
implementation is to make the security program as self-sufficient as possible in all matters
pertaining to security. This includes the two-sided coin of risk control: (1) the protection of
assets by identifying, analyzing and prioritizing the risk, and (2) contingency and disaster
recovery planning.”

EXCERPT FROM THE INTRODUCTION

“A cardinal rule to remember is “Never allow yourself to assume that the preventative
practices, procedures and countermeasures in place will always work to negate the threat.”
Remember threats evolve, and so must the security professional. Further, management must
not be allowed to become so complacent as to avoid contingency and disaster recovery
planning.

“The entire premise of this books rests on one principle, and that is: “The most fundamental
philosophy of risk control, design and implementation has as a basic tenet making the
program as self-sufficient as possible in all matters pertaining to security. This includes the
two-sided coin of risk control: (1) the protection of assets by identifying, analyzing, and
prioritizing the risk; and, (2) contingency and disaster recovery planning.”
