Download or read book Human System Integration in the System Development Process written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-06-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1991 BusinessWeek ran a cover story entitled, "I Can't Work This ?#!!@ Thing," about the difficulties many people have with consumer products, such as cell phones and VCRs. More than 15 years later, the situation is much the same-but at a very different level of scale. The disconnect between people and technology has had society-wide consequences in the large-scale system accidents from major human error, such as those at Three Mile Island and in Chernobyl. To prevent both the individually annoying and nationally significant consequences, human capabilities and needs must be considered early and throughout system design and development. One challenge for such consideration has been providing the background and data needed for the seamless integration of humans into the design process from various perspectives: human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, safety and health, and, in the military, habitability and survivability. This collection of development activities has come to be called human-system integration (HSI). Human-System Integration in the System Development Process reviews in detail more than 20 categories of HSI methods to provide invaluable guidance and information for system designers and developers.

Download or read book Guide to Country Risk written by The Economist and published by The Economist. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Country risk explains the things that can go wrong when business is conducted across borders. It's not just multinational companies, with factories worldwide and complex operations, that need to understand sudden changes in business conditions. These can affect any small firm that may be looking to expand sales abroad or work with a foreign supplier. The 2008-09 global financial crisis and the Arab Spring showed us how quickly and dramatically business conditions in any country can worsen and spread. But a thorough understanding and careful management of country risk will help a company survive a crisis -- and even open up new opportunities. The Economist Guide to Country Risk explains: What risks foreign investors face, and how to measure and manage them in a systematic way. Why political and economic shocks are so hard to predict. Where economies are vulnerable and how existing risk models spot (or miss) signs of impending disaster. The typical bad habits of managers who ignore the warning signs. How and where the next crisis will emerge.

Book excerpt: As a security professional, have you found that you and others in your company do not always define “security” the same way? Perhaps security interests and business interests have become misaligned. Brian Allen and Rachelle Loyear offer a new approach: Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM). By viewing security through a risk management lens, ESRM can help make you and your security program successful. In their long-awaited book, based on years of practical experience and research, Brian Allen and Rachelle Loyear show you step-by-step how Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) applies fundamental risk principles to manage all security risks. Whether the risks are informational, cyber, physical security, asset management, or business continuity, all are included in the holistic, all-encompassing ESRM approach which will move you from task-based to risk-based security. How is ESRM familiar? As a security professional, you may already practice some of the components of ESRM. Many of the concepts – such as risk identification, risk transfer and acceptance, crisis management, and incident response – will be well known to you. How is ESRM new? While many of the principles are familiar, the authors have identified few organizations that apply them in the comprehensive, holistic way that ESRM represents – and even fewer that communicate these principles effectively to key decision-makers. How is ESRM practical? ESRM offers you a straightforward, realistic, actionable approach to deal effectively with all the distinct types of security risks facing you as a security practitioner. ESRM is performed in a life cycle of risk management including: Asset assessment and prioritization. Risk assessment and prioritization. Risk treatment (mitigation). Continuous improvement. Throughout Enterprise Security Risk Management: Concepts and Applications, the authors give you the tools and materials that will help you advance you in the security field, no matter if you are a student, a newcomer, or a seasoned professional. Included are realistic case studies, questions to help you assess your own security program, thought-provoking discussion questions, useful figures and tables, and references for your further reading. By redefining how everyone thinks about the role of security in the enterprise, your security organization can focus on working in partnership with business leaders and other key stakeholders to identify and mitigate security risks. As you begin to use ESRM, following the instructions in this book, you will experience greater personal and professional satisfaction as a security professional – and you’ll become a recognized and trusted partner in the business-critical effort of protecting your enterprise and all its assets.

Download or read book BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT written by Prabhu TL and published by NestFame Creations Pvt Ltd.. This book was released on with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of business continuity is a crucial task. It ensures that your company's usual business operations are maintained with minimal disturbance during a calamity. BCM is based on the idea that good response systems can reduce the amount of damage caused by hypothetical catastrophes. Company continuity management is described as an organization's advanced planning and readiness for preserving business functions or promptly resuming operations following a calamity. It also include identifying potential threats such as fire, flood, and cyber-attacks. Business executives have devised a strategy to detect and manage potential crises before they occur. The procedures are then tested to confirm that they operate, and the process is then reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that it is up to date. Continuity management encompasses more than just the aftermath of a natural disaster or a cyberattack. It all starts with the rules and procedures that have been designed, tested, and implemented in the event of an incident. The program's scope, essential players, and management structure are all defined in the policy. It must explain why business continuity is vital, and it must maintain control during this phase. One component is determining who is responsible for the establishment and modification of a business continuity plan checklist. The other is determining who will be in charge of implementation. In what may be a hectic period for everyone concerned, governance brings clarity. It's also important to consider the scope. It specifies what the organization's definition of business continuity is. Is it about keeping apps running, products and services available, data accessible, or people and physical locations safe? Businesses must be clear about what is covered by a plan, whether it is revenue-generating components, external-facing parts, or another portion of the overall business. During this phase, roles and responsibilities must also be assigned. These may be clear positions based on work function, or particular responsibilities based on the type of disruption that may occur. Policy, governance, scope, and roles must all be widely stated and supported in all circumstances.
