Unfortunately, the traditional guidelines for INFOSEC risk analysis emphasize time-consuming quantitative measurements that produce misleadingly precise results. Oftentimes, we don't have the time or the resources to do a traditional risk analysis. This panel presents rapid risk anal...

Excerpt: As indicated in the previous chapter (from page 59 onwards) querying of data grids in GIS can give you a first indication of relations between different factors. To get a more precise idea you have to carry out a statistical analysis on the available data. Regression analysis is a simple statistical tool to look at correlations between two or more types of data and is the most commonly used statistical technique in fisheries biology. First a refresher of the bas...

Summary: In Denmark, the concept of risk analysis has been used in the control of Campylobacter in chickens. The risk management procedure was initiated by a risk profile on Campylobacter, which was elaborated in cooperation with risk managers, risk assessors, and stakeholders representing both the consumers and the industry. Following the preparation of the riskprofile the risk managers decided to order a formal risk assessment. The responsibility for the risk assessmen...
Excerpt: Import Risk Analysis (IRA) is the process by which importing authorities determine whether live aquatic animal imports or their products pose a threat to the aquatic resources of their country. This is usually undertaken by the Competent Authority (CA) for the importing country, but risk analyses apply equally to the individual who wants to import live aquatic animals onto their farm or site. Adverse consequences arising from an inadequate or unconscientious IRA...
