Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment

Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment is an invaluable reference for assessors, business managers, operators, and planners. And given a rapidly evolving geopolitical situation with nations and other actors motivated to compete and fight across multiple domains, the book could not come at a better time. - Chuck Benson, Director of IoT Risk Mitigation Strategy, University of Washington What I particularly like about this book is how self-contained it is in its knowledge of statutes, approaches, resources, and recommendations. You need not look elsewhere for guidance in conducting infrastructure risk assessments. This book is a practitioner's guide that anyone involved in managing, securing, or operating critical infrastructure would find invaluable. The book's subtitle, Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment: The Definitive Threat Identification and Threat Reduction Handbook is no boast as this book lives up to its title. - Tari Schreider, C CISO, CRISC, MCRP, Cybersecurity Program Strategist, Author & Instructor Ernie Hayden has been in the industry for many years and offers a lot of practical advice in this book. The book is laid out in an easy-to-consume manner; it starts with foundational information and proceeds to detail the assessment process from start to finish. This book is a great reference for the facility manager, plant manager or consultant. - Matt B., CISSP Ernie Hayden has provided an extraordinary work that goes beyond its title, addressing Risk Assessment for Critical Infrastructure, with all its elements: threat identification, vulnerability identification, and impact. But more than an academic exercise, Mr. Hayden has taken years of experience as a risk assessor, and provides a handbook that will be invaluable to both the novice assessor, the executive who has been charged with an assignment to have a risk assessment completed, and the seasoned assessor. - Matt Lampe, Partner, Fortium Partners This handbook was written for anyone involved in critical infrastructure risk assessment. Ernie Hayden guides you through the quagmire of complex terms and essential concepts to gain a clear understanding of critical infrastructure and risk assessment. The responsible executive or risk assessor will want to keep this reference by their side while planning, conducting, or using any risk assessment. - Gil Oakley, Retired, Institute of Nuclear Power Operations
