The book introduces basic risk concepts and then goes on to discuss risk management and analysis processes and steps‎.‎ The main emphasis is on methods that fulfill the requirements of one or several risk management steps‎.‎ The focus is on risk analysis methods including statistical‎-empirical analyses‎,‎ probabilistic and parametrized models‎,‎ engineering approaches and simulative methods‎,‎ e‎.‎g‎.‎ for fragment and blast propagation or hazard density computation‎.‎ Risk management is essential for improving all resilience management steps‎:‎ preparation‎,‎ prevention‎,‎ protection‎,‎ response and recovery‎.‎ The methods investigate types of event and scenario‎,‎ as well as frequency‎,‎ exposure‎,‎ avoidance‎,‎ hazard propagation‎,‎ damage and risks of events‎.‎ Further methods are presented for context assessment‎,‎ risk visualization‎,‎ communication‎,‎ comparison and assessment as well as selecting mitigation measures‎.‎ The processes and methods are demonstrated using detailed results and overviews of security research projects‎,‎ in particular in the applications domains transport‎,‎ aviation‎,‎ airport security‎,‎ explosive threats and urban security and safety‎.‎Topics include‎:‎ sufficient control of emerging and novel hazards and risks‎,‎ occupational safety‎,‎ identification of minimum ‎(‎functional‎)‎ safety requirements‎,‎ engineering methods for countering malevolent or terrorist events‎,‎ security research challenges‎,‎ interdisciplinary approaches to risk control and management‎,‎ risk‎-based change and improvement management‎,‎ and support of rational decision‎-making‎.‎ The book addresses advanced bachelor students‎,‎ master and doctoral students as well as scientists‎,‎ researchers and developers in academia‎,‎ industry‎,‎ small and medium enterprises working in the emerging field of security and safety engineering‎.‎
