This Guide to SRMBOK is focused on the management of explosives incidents (bombs).

The objective of this ‘Guide to SRMBOK’ is to help readers understand and mitigate the risks associated with explosives and effectively apply security risk management strategies in an integrated and cohesive fashion.

It has been written in such a way as to stand alone so far as possible, however it is assumed that most readers will be familiar with the concepts and definitions described in the Security Risk Management Body of Knowledge (SRMBOK).

 Intellectual assets (IAs) can exist in a variety of forms, though they are all based upon the generation, capture and protection of valuable knowledge. Their foundation is fragile, as it is dependent upon the transition from tacit knowledge possessed by an individual, into the organisation with which they are associated. The organisation must then convert that knowledge into value creating processes, products or practices. While intellectual property (IP) is not the only form of IA, it is the most obvious and the most tangible.

This chapter is intended to provide a background to the concepts underpinning Intangible Assets, R&D activities, threats, perpetrators, vulnerabilities and protective mechanisms.
