A framework for thinking about security and risk

Bruce Oliver Newsome brings security management and risk management together in a 12-chapter textbook designed to connect concepts with practical assessment and decision-making. The chapters build from core ideas—capacity, hazards, threats, vulnerability, uncertainty and probability—to risk controls, communication, monitoring and audit. Its scope crosses fields from business and public administration to healthcare, computing and policing, while the second edition adds material on pandemics, lockdowns, war, crime and cyber risks. Chapter summaries, questions, exercises, debate prompts and a glossary give the book a structured format for study and discussion.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students seeking an introduction to security and risk management across professional fields
  • Practitioners who want a structured framework for assessing and managing risk
  • Instructors looking for chapter-based material with exercises and discussion prompts
