ABSTRACT
Macroeconomics teaches us that resources in any given situation are limited; thus, choices must be made regarding the trade-off between the resources necessary to generate products, profits and market share, and the assets required to protect them. The successful security practitioner strikes the appropriate balance between these competing demands. It is the goal of the
Asset Protection and Security Management Handbook
to assist the security professional in achieving this difficult but essential equilibrium in determining the appropriate level of acceptable risk in any given situation and the investment required to mitigate those risks.
