Security Risk Management - The Driving Force for Operational Resilience: The Firefighting Paradox (Security, Audit and Leadership Series)

The importance of businesses being 'operationally resilient' is becoming increasingly important, and a driving force behind whether an organization can ensure that its valuable business operations can 'bounce back' from or manage to evade impactful occurrences is its security risk management capabilities. In this book, we change the perspective on an organization's operational resilience capabilities so that it shifts from being a reactive (tick box) approach to being proactive. The perspectives of every chapter in this book focus on risk profiles and how your business can reduce these profiles using effective mitigation measures. The book is divided into two sections: 1. Security Risk Management (SRM). All the components of security risk management contribute to your organization's operational resilience capabilities, to help reduce your risks. - Reduce the probability/ likelihood. 2. Survive to Operate. If your SRM capabilities fail your organization, these are the components that are needed to allow you to quickly 'bounce back.' - Reduce the severity/ impact. Rather than looking at this from an operational resilience compliance capabilities aspect, we have written these to be agnostic of any specific operational resilience framework (e.g., CERT RMM, ISO 22316, SP 800- 160 Vol. 2 Rev. 1, etc.), with the idea of looking at operational resilience through a risk management lens instead. This book is not intended to replace these numerous operational resilience standards/ frameworks but, rather, has been designed to complement them by getting you to appreciate their value in helping to identify and mitigate your operational resilience risks. Unlike the cybersecurity or information security domains, operational resilience looks at risks from a business-oriented view, so that anything that might disrupt your essential business operations are risk-assessed and appropriate countermeasures identified and applied. Consequently, this book is not limited to cyberattacks or the loss of sensitive data but, instead, looks at things from a holistic business-based perspective.

This book is a collection of 335 questions about sex and related topics written by 4th, 5th and 6th grade students and answered by their teachers. Some of the questions are thoughtful and mature such as:"When they have sex, do they ask who is going to start it?"or"Can a guy have menopause?"Others can be a little "far out" and hilarious such as:"If someone had a penis and a vagina, could they have sex with themselves??or"Can ghosts have sex?"Others could only come from the curious and unpredictable minds of pre-teens such as:"If someone farts when they are having sex, what happens?"or"What if the boy and girl have sex and the boy pees in the girl's vagina?"While most parents make a valiant effort to present "the birds and the bees" talk to their children, they often fall short on the accuracy of their answers or they are too embarrassed to answer at all. While this book can educate adolescents about the challenging topic of sex, it will also engage and entertain readers of all ages.
