Managing risk, insurance and terrorism - Counting the Cost Guide
Counting the Cost
Terrorism and other critical events, whatever their source or form, will always have social and economic consequences. This is why it is important that businesses consider how they can prevent, handle and recover from an attack, which usually arrives swiftly and unannounced.
