- Summary:
- "Strategies for Protecting National Critical Infrastructure Assets: A Focus on Problem-Solving" eases the research burden, develops investigative protocols for these infrastructure assets, and pulls together baseline 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 national critical infrastructure. At a time when the U.S. Government and corporate America are spending billions of dollars on performing risk assessments, this book establishes a new and acceptable approach for conducting risk assessments in a high-risk world.
