Praise for Risk and Security ManagementProtecting People and Sites Worldwide

"Blyth has produced a comprehensive guide to the increasingly important issues of asset security and corporate risk management worldwide. Drawing on practical examples gathered over years of government and private sector experience, he provides tangible illustrations of the points made. An engaging and well-written text for security experts and other professionals tackling a specialized, yet broad-ranging subject. This book provided me with a fresh perspective on many issues that confront global organizations on a daily basis."
-Joe Pugh, Head of European Project Management, Panasonic

"While we can never eliminate all risk, Blyth provides insight into effective mitigation strategy and risk management that can help you meet your company requirements. This book is a must-read for companies considering working in new areas or expanding operations-effectively leveraging the capabilities ofsecurity vendors to safeguard company operations, as well as the safety, welfare, and health of employees."

"A handbook for companies pursuing business opportunities in challenging, high-risk environments. Mike blends smart security risk management with company objectives to ensure the protection of life, assets, and reputation, supporting business success and continuity. This book is a great read and should be part of every security professional's library."

"An excellent book . . . exploding some of the myths surrounding the security industry. Mike articulates extremely well the complexity of operating in challenging environments with limited resources and commercial drivers. He highlights the key strategic and operational drivers that enable tactical success-organizational convergence, risk identification, contingency planning, and ultimately a robust crisis-management methodology, coupled with good business sense."
-Matt Bray, Head of Business Continuity, BAA Heathrow

"This book is a most interesting read and of immense value to both the practitioner and those in leadership roles who require an extensive knowledge of risk and security management. I strongly recommend this book to all security practitioners and consultants as an excellent repository of risk and security management know-how."
