SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE SECURITY INCIDENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED

Abstract

Protecting a nation and Critical Infrastructure against terrorism and other malicious
acts is one of the main tasks of this century. A country and its Critical Infrastructure must be
protected and able to resist and swiftly recover from all hazards. Proactive and harmonized
efforts are essential in strengthening and preserving secure, functioning, and resilient critical
infrastructure – including assets, networks, and systems – that are vital for the Nation’s safety,
prosperity, and well-being. There are various ways of achieving such a goal, including Incident
Management System and its key factors, Security Risk Management System, and Security Risk
Assessment. Absence of a formal Security Risk Management System which includes a formal Risk
Assessment may be viewed as indicative of a lack of due diligence and effective risk management.
