In this book, representatives of government, industry, universities, and public interest groups consider the emerging art of risk assessment and discuss the issues and problems involved. They look at two failures in technological risk management–Three Mile Island and Love Canal; examine the dimensions of technological risk; tackle the difficult question of how safe is "safe enough"; and offer a set of research priorities.

This volume is the outcome of a recent NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on "Technology Assessment. Environmental Impact Assessment. and Risk Analysis: Contributions from the Psychological and Decision Sciences." The Institute was held in Les Arcs. France and functioned as a high level teaching activity during which scientific research results were presented in detail by eminent lecturers. Support for the Institute was provided by grants from the NATO Division of Scientific Affairs. the u.S. Office of Naval Research. and the Russell Sage Foundation. The Institute covered several areas of research. including quantitative studies on decision and judgmental processes. studies on human intellectual limitations. studies on risk attitudes and perceptions. studies on factors contributing to conflicts and disputes about hazardous technologies and activities. studies on factors influencing forecasts and judgments by experts. studies on public preferences for decisionmaking processes. studies on public responses to technological hazards. and case studies applying principles and methods from the psychological and decision sciences in specific settings.

Public attention has focused in recent years on an array of technological risks to health, safety, and the environment. At the same time, responsibilities for technological risk as sessment, evaluation, and management have grown in both the public and private sectors because of a perceived need to anticipate, prevent, or reduce the risks inherent in modem society. In attempting to meet these responsibilities, legislative, judicial, regulatory, and private sector institutions have had to deal with the extraordinarily complex problems of assessing and balancing risks, costs, and benefits. The need to help society cope with technological risks has given rise to a new intellectual endeavor: the social and behavioral study of issues in risk evaluation and risk management. The scope and complexity of these analyses require a high degree of cooperative effort on the part of specialists from many fields. Analyzing social and behavioral issues requires the efforts of political scientists, sociologists, decision analysts, management scientists, econ omists, psychologists, philosophers, and policy analysts, among others.

"Risks in Technological Systems" is an interdisciplinary university textbook and a book for the educated reader on the risks of today’s society. In order to understand and analyze risks associated with the engineering systems on which modern society relies, other concerns have to be addressed, besides technical aspects. In contrast to many academic textbooks dealing with technological risks, this book has a unique interdisciplinary character that presents technological risks in their own context. Twenty-four scientists have come together to present their views on risks in technological systems. Their scientific disciplines cover not only engineering, economics and medicine, but also history, psychology, literature and philosophy. Taken together these contributions provide a broad, but accurate, interdisciplinary introduction to a field of increasing global interest, as well as rich opportunities to achieve in-depth knowledge of the subject.

If you look at any survey of the top risks facing organizations, you will find technology-related risks (such as cyber and disruptive technologies) among those cited as being of greatest concern. But executives and board members say they are not getting the information they need to understand how to address those risks. They don't know how much to invest in cyber, for example, when funds are scarce. Is the cyber risk so great that they should divert funds from acquisitions or product development? Even chief information security officers are reporting a disconnect with the leaders of the organization. Apparently they know that the board and top management don't understand what is being reported, and they are not satisfied they are getting the support they need. But if the board and top management don't understand how and why technology risk might affect the achievement of their goals as leaders of the organization, it's not surprising they are not providing the funds the technical staff says they need. At the same time, do the technical teams understand how the risks they see might actually affect the organization and its success? Are they looking at the risks with a business or a technician's eye? In his latest book, Norman Marks builds on the concepts in his earlier World-Class Risk Management and suggests an approach that moves the discussion of technology-related risk into the language of the business. He analyzes the primary sources of guidance (from NIST and ISO) and points out the limitations: they may be good for technicians, but do they help us understand the risk to enterprise objectives that may arise from failures related to technology? Norman discusses ways to consider how the possibility of technology failures (and opportunities) should affect decision-making, both strategic and tactical. In the process, he tackles topics such as: Risk is not a point, but a range How to aggregate multiple risks Integrating risk and performance reporting What is acceptable when it comes to technology-related risk How to enable leaders of the organization to make intelligent and informed decisions that consider technology-related risks and more

This book brings together The Open Group’s set of publications addressing risk management, which have been developed and approved by The Open Group. It is presented in three parts: The Technical Standard for Risk Taxonomy Technical Guide to the Requirements for Risk Assessment Methodologies Technical Guide: FAIR – ISO/IEC 27005 Cookbook Part 1: Technical Standard for Risk Taxonomy This Part provides a standard definition and taxonomy for information security risk, as well as information regarding how to use the taxonomy. The intended audience for this Part includes anyone who needs to understand and/or analyze a risk condition. This includes, but is not limited to: Information security and risk management professionals Auditors and regulators Technology professionals Management This taxonomy is not limited to application in the information security space. It can, in fact, be applied to any risk scenario. This means the taxonomy to be used as a foundation for normalizing the results of risk analyses across varied risk domains. Part 2: Technical Guide: Requirements for Risk Assessment Methodologies This Part identifies and describes the key characteristics that make up any effective risk assessment methodology, thus providing a common set of criteria for evaluating any given risk assessment methodology against a clearly defined common set of essential requirements. In this way, it explains what features to look for when evaluating the capabilities of any given methodology, and the value those features represent. Part 3: Technical Guide: FAIR – ISO/IEC 27005 Cookbook This Part describes in detail how to apply the FAIR (Factor Analysis for Information Risk) methodology to any selected risk management framework. It uses ISO/IEC 27005 as the example risk assessment framework. FAIR is complementary to all other risk assessment models/frameworks, including COSO, ITIL, ISO/IEC 27002, COBIT, OCTAVE, etc. It provides an engine that can be used in other risk models to improve the quality of the risk assessment results. The Cookbook enables risk technology practitioners to follow by example how to apply FAIR to other risk assessment models/frameworks of their choice.

Risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk management are the three core areas in the process known as 'Risk Assessment'. Risk assessment corresponds to the joint effort of identifying and analysing potential future events, and evaluating the acceptability of risk based on the risk analysis, while considering influencing factors. In short, risk assessment analyses what can go wrong, how likely it is to happen and, if it happens, what are the potential consequences. Since risk is a multi-disciplinary domain, this book gathers contributions covering a wide spectrum of topics with regard to their theoretical background and field of application. The work is organized in the three core areas of risk assessment.

The new field of toxicogenomics presents a potentially powerful set of tools to better understand the health effects of exposures to toxicants in the environment. At the request of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Research Council assembled a committee to identify the benefits of toxicogenomics, the challenges to achieving them, and potential approaches to overcoming such challenges. The report concludes that realizing the potential of toxicogenomics to improve public health decisions will require a concerted effort to generate data, make use of existing data, and study data in new waysâ€"an effort requiring funding, interagency coordination, and data management strategies.
