With Reflections on Risk V, Annie Searle and her expert team have produced critical research on today's risks along with actionable insights on what may be done.The volume offers readers a wide selection of topics, ranging from emerging IT challenges to the governance failures. Whether you are just exploring risk management, or you are a seasoned practitioner and rowing away from the rocks is your calling, there is no better guide today than Reflections on Risk V." -- Sean S. Costigan, Professor, George C. Marshall European Center for Security StudiesFrom another reviewer: "It's a pleasure (and a wake-up call) to see another volume of Reflections on Risk ready for publication. The content, of course, is important -- this is a collection of deep dives into some of the most pressing issues of our day, things we all should be aware of and thinking about on a daily basis. The reflections include analyses of risks to our information infrastructure, integrity and privacy; examinations of management and response to increasingly serious social incidents; and discussions of significant examples of potential and actual risk within our private and public organizations -- an impressive sweep across a broad intellectual spectrum.But equally important is the source of this content. For years now, Annie has made a committed effort through her teaching and practice to instill the techniques and values of thoughtful research, analysis and understanding of these problems in her students -- the creators of the research notes in this and earlier volumes. These students are the leaders who will be responsible for the identification, management and resolution of these and similar issues in the future. We should all be grateful for Annie's continuing work to encourage, inspire, and educate them -- and for sharing their work with the rest of us." -- Michael Crandall, Former Chair and Senior Lecturer, Master of Science in Information Management Program, University of Washington Information School
