Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "Are Liberal Vulnerabilities Now Apparent?"
$10.00
Taped on September 16, 1992Mr. Limbaugh's career was skyrocketing; the radio show had led to the launching of a television show, and his latest book was a runaway best-seller. This show affords a fascinating look at two utterly different personalities that have placed themselves in service to, mostly, the same goals. One sample: Buckley: "Style means a lot to me. I'm waiting for the day when people would be laughed out of the campus who use the word 'freshperson.' It's an idiotic attempt at hermaphroditic excess." Limbaugh: "It is, but if you oppose it, you're the one laughed at." Buckley: "You oppose it." Limbaugh: "Oh, I do. But I'm brave, I'm courageous."

Vulnerability Management
$79.95
As old as the threat of danger itself, vulnerability management (VM) has been the responsibility of leaders in every human organization, from tribes and fiefdoms right up through modern multinationals. Today, the focus of vulnerability management is still on infrastructure, but as knowledge is power and the lifeblood of any organization is its capacity for quick system-wide response, current emphasis needs to be placed on maintaining the integrity of IT applications, so critical to the real and the virtual infrastructure and productivity of any community or business entity.
Where information truly moves at the speed of light, without dedicated vigilance and proactive maintenance, we are always one failed gate or one lazy sentry ¡Ä one accident or one act of malfeasance ¡Ä away from systemic disaster.
Written by international security consultant Park Foreman, Vulnerability Management demonstrates a proactive approach. Illustrated with examples drawn from more than two decades of multinational experience, Foreman demonstrates how much easier it is to manage potential weaknesses, than to clean up after a violation. Covering the diverse realms that chief officers need to know and the specifics applicable to singular areas of departmental responsibility, he provides both the strategic vision and action steps needed to prevent the exploitation of IT security gaps, especially those that are inherent in a larger organization. Providing a fundamental understanding of technology risks from an interloper¡Çs perspective, this efficiently organized work ?


Offers the guidance you need to develop and personalize your own VM management program


Goes far beyond the obvious to cover those areas often neglected, as well as those that are actually less secure than they might appear


Demonstrates a host of proven methods to assess and reduce the potential for exploitation from within and without


Provides detailed checklists used by the author

Throughout history, the best leaders not only responded to manifested threats but anticipated and prepared for potential ones that might overtly or insidiously compromise infrastructure and the capacity for productivity. Great vulnerability management is often hard to quantify, as the best measure of its success is that which never happens.

U.S. Army FM 3-14 Nuclear, Biological, And Chemical (NBC) Vulnerability Analysis: Terrorist Dirty Bomb Assessment: Field Manual Guide Book on CD-ROM

From the manual: Enemy forces, terrorists, or warring factions may employ a variety of nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) weapons in future conflicts, terrorism, or stability and support operations (SASO). The possible combinations of agents and delivery systems place military and civilians at risk at almost anytime or anyplace. Most nations can develop offensive NBC warfare capabilities through the restructuring of legitimate nuclear, medical, biotechnology, and chemical facilities. Additionally, the sale of technology and loss of control over weapons of mass destruction (WMD) increase the risk of employment against the US and its allies. Potential enemy nations or terrorist groups may believe these weapons provide a decisive advantage or psychological benefit against US forces and their allies. The manuals purpose is twofold: a) aid chemical staff officers in conducting NBC vulnerability analyses and risk assessments during all phases of hostilities (pre-, conflict, and post-) and b) assist in advising commanders on force protection measures. Background information is provided for clarity or a baseline for understanding the chapters focal points.
