"Flip This Risk for Enterprise Security is Both Timely and Refreshing!"
"Flip This Risk for Enterprise Security is Both Timely and Refreshing!"
-- Richard Aragon, Ph.D., Associate Editor, Frontiers Journal

"Recent, unanticipated, and often alarming events encompassed by such phenomena as the COVID pandemic, SolarWinds hack, and the volatility of the cryptocurrency market have emphasized both the necessity and importance of enterprise risk management (ERM) in the health and longevity of organizational operations. Although historically utilized more frequently and robustly within the private sector, ERM has nonetheless seen more recent application to various areas of the public sector, including areas related specifically to federal operations (Holzinger et al., 2018).

A primary challenge faced by federal agencies in integrating ERM into organizational culture has been an incomplete understanding of the fundamental tenets of functional ERM versus other forms of risk management (e.g., transactional, internal control testing, etc.; Miller et al., 2022).

The Flip This Risk® Book Series, including that for Enterprise Security, helps address the above -described challenge by providing both the foundational principles upon which ERM is built and communicating the rationale for its use in various settings. Unlike traditional ERM texts which focus almost exclusively on building a theoretical understanding of the field, Flip This Risk for Enterprise Security places these principles within a practical framework of illustrative examples (i.e., case studies) that are relatable to multiple audiences and end-users. In so doing, the book serves as both a guide and benchmark for the successful application and integration of ERM into an organization’s culture."
