#riskmanagement : "The program and supporting processes to manage information security risk to organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation. Risk management includes: (i) establishing the context for risk-related activities; (ii) assessing risk; (iii) responding to risk once determined; and (iv) monitoring risk over time". (NIST 🔗 https://buff.ly/3wptIaT ) #riskmanagement : "Coordinated activities to direct and control and organisation within regard to risk" (ISO Guide 73:2009) #security : "The condition of being protected against hazards, threats, #risks, or loss. NOTE 1: In the general sense, security is a concept similar to #safety. The distinction between the two is an added emphasis on being protected from dangers that originate from outside. NOTE 2: The term "security" means that something not only is secure but that it has been secured. " (ANSI/ASIS PAP.1-2012 Security Management Standard: Physical Asset Protection) #resilience : "There is no single approach to enhance and organisations resilience" (ISO 22316:2017 Security and Resilience - Organisational Resilience - Principles and Attributes) #SecurityRiskManagement : " is the culture, processes and structures that are directed towards maximising benefits and minimising adverse effects associated with the intentional and unwarranted actions of others against organisational assets."

"#SecurityManagement involves specific techniques and tools, such as risk assessments, threat analysis, incident response planning, and security awareness training. In contrast, general management typically focuses on functions such as planning, organising, staffing, directing, and controlling. Moreover, security management often involves collaboration with law enforcement agencies, government regulators, and other external stakeholders, whereas general management focuses more on internal stakeholders such as employees, shareholders, and customers. In summary, while security management is a crucial aspect of general management, it has a specific focus on identifying and mitigating risks and threats to an organization's security, which differentiates it from general management's broader responsibilities of managing an organization's resources to achieve its objectives " So, does security management require specific knowledge, methods, skills, and experience? "Yes, security management requires specific knowledge, methods, skills, and experience. It involves a range of specialized activities that require expertise in various areas, including risk assessment, security technology, crisis management, and emergency response. Security managers must possess a thorough understanding of the organization's operations and assets, as well as the risks and threats that could pose a threat to them. They must have a working knowledge of security technology, such as access control systems, surveillance cameras, and intrusion detection systems, and how to use them to protect the organization."

"The #securityriskmanagement profession is concerned with the protection of assets: people, property and information. It is based primarily on the delivery of three interdependent elements: physical security (protecting people, premises and physical assets from actions or events that could cause damage, loss or harm), personnel security (mitigating insider risk and enhancing trust in staff, suppliers or business partners with access to its important assets), and information security (protecting electronic, print and other information from unauthorized or unintended access, disclosure, tampering or destruction) " "The #security challenges presented by an increasingly digitised society, and the well-recognized global cyber security skills gap, suggest that the security profession is unlikely to decline but will need to adapt and evolve significantly, building the capacity of its members to do the same." (p.732) "The most sought-after job skills by 2025, according to their latest survey, were analytical thinking and innovation; active learning and learning strategies; complex problem-solving; critical thinking and analysis; and creativity, originality, and initiative. " (p.737) "#Resilience thinking, an approach that recognizes the complexity and interconnectedness of security challenges and advocates holistic and systemic solutions, has already become influential across multiple policy dimensions including international development, national security, urban design and management, and organizational risk management."

#securitymanagement "#Risk. A risk is: o A situation where someone, or something valued, is exposed to danger, harm or loss (noun); or o to expose someone or something valued to danger, harm or loss (verb).  Threat. A threat: o Is a person, or thing, likely to cause damage or danger (noun); or o Indicates impending damage or danger (verb).  Risk Appetite: The types and amount of risk, on a broad level, an organization is willing to accept in its pursuit of value.  Risk Tolerance: The level of risk an entity is willing to assume in order to achieve a potential desired result.  Risk Threshold: Values used to establish concrete decision points and operational control limits to trigger management action and response escalation.  Assessment Boundary. The scope of an organization’s control implementation to which assessment of objects is applied: o An assessment may involve multiple assessment boundaries; and o Assessment boundary may be defined as the People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) that comprise:  The entire organization;  A specific contract, project or initiative;  A specific Business Unit (BU) within an organization; or  A specific country, or geographic region, of the organization’s business operations.  Material Control. When a deficiency, or absence, of a control that poses a material impact, that is a material control. See Appendix A: Material Controls for examples of material controls. A material control is such a fundamental cybersecurity and/or data privacy control that: o It is not capable of having compensating controls. o Its absence, or failure, exposes the organization to such a degree that it could have a material impact.  Material Risk. When an identified risk that poses a material impact, that is a material risk. o A material risk is a quantitative or qualitative scenario where the exposure to danger, harm or loss has a material impact (e.g., significant financial impact, potential class action lawsuit, death related to product usage, etc.) o A material risk should be identified and documented in an organization's "risk catalog" that chronicles the organization's relevant and plausible risks." #security #securityriskmanagement #securitymanagement #securityrisks #enterprisesecurity #cybersecurity #physicalsecurity #informationsecurity #digitalsecurity #securityoperations #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #securityassessment #intelligence #threatlintelligence #risk #riskmanagement #safety #safetyfirst #safetymanagement #safetyassessment #safetyrisks #safetyculture #safetyanalysis #personalsafety #workplacesafety #healthandsafety #hazard #danger #peril #threat #PPE #protectivesafety #workplacesafety #risk #risks #enterpriserisk #enterprisesecurityriskmanagement #intelligence #threatlintelligence #riskmanagement #riskanalysis #riskassessment #riskmanagementframework #operationalriskmanagement #projectriskmanagement #projectrisk

#RiskManagement "...Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) functions as an enabling device in #cybersecurity by justifying budgets and advocating for investments in the organization. Increasing learning in the organization via QRA was not found to be a reason for its use. There was a difference in the perception of QRA between those who created them (risk managers), and those who interacted with them in leadership (CISOs). Risk managers desired QRAs to reflect objective truth. CISOs, on the other hand, were more pragmatic about its value, and did not have an expectation that it would reflect objective truth. More research is needed to examine the full lifecycle of a QRA and how each participant within the QRA process, including its consumers, perceive its value. Future studies may want to also examine alternative tools to QRA and compare their success in advocating for cybersecurity budgets." (p.49) "The Alchemy of QRA: If we imagine the future in terms of probabilities, then risks look safe” (Clarke, 2005, p. 42) Clarke’s warning is that the expression of risks as probabilities, quantified and given the appearance of objectivity, allows risk to be written off as safe, or in the case of cybersecurity: controlled. As a tool to advocate for budget and the acceptance of risk appetite, QRA operates as an enabling device, convincing the organization that approved projects can control against the complex, uncertain and ambiguous world of cybersecurity by following an objectively laid path of risks enumerated as probabilities. While QRA could potentially be viewed by an organization as a collection of expert information in its systems, once the information is gathered from SMEs and transformed into a QRA, the risk in question is legitimized, and any systems expertise communicated is obfuscated by numbers (Clarke, 1999).
