Managing Information Risks: Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Responses
identifies and categorizes risks related to creation, collection,
storage, retention, retrieval, disclosure and ownership of
information in organizations of all types and sizes. It is intended
for risk managers, information governance specialists, compliance
officers, attorneys, records managers, archivists, and other
decision-makers, managers, and analysts who are responsible for
risk management initiatives related to their organizations'
information assets. An opening chapter defines and discusses risk
terminology and concepts that are essential for understanding,
assessing, and controlling information risk. Subsequent chapters
provide detailed explanations of specific threats to an
organization's information assets, an assessment of vulnerabilities
that the threats can exploit, and a review of available options to
address the threats and their associated vulnerabilities.
Applicable laws, regulations, and standards are cited at
appropriate points in the text. Each chapter includes extensive
endnotes that support specific points and provide suggestions for
further reading. While the book is grounded in scholarship, the
treatment is practical rather than theoretical. Each chapter
focuses on knowledge and recommendations that readers can use to:
-heighten risk awareness within their organizations, -identify
threats and their associated consequences, -assess vulnerabilities,
-evaluate risk mitigation options, -define risk-related
responsibilities, and -align information-related initiatives and
activities with their organizations' risk management strategies and
policies. Compared to other works, this book deals with a broader
range of information risks and draws on ideas from a greater
variety of disciplines, including business process management, law,
financial analysis, records management, information science, and
archival administration. Most books on this topic associate
information risk with digital data, information technology, and
cyber security. This book covers risks to information of any type
in any format, including paper and photographic records as well as
digital content.
