Los riesgos son connaturales a las sociedades modernas. Las amenazas relacionadas con los sistemas financieros, los sistemas políticos, las tecnologías de la información, el terrorismo, la seguridad alimentaria, las epidemias o los desastres naturales asociados al cambio climático, entre muchas otras, demandan marcos metodológicos rigurosos para el análisis y la gestión de riesgos. De esto se encarga la disciplina global del análisis de riesgos, cuyos conceptos básicos se esbozan en este libro. En particular, incide en la necesidad de predecir adecuadamente la ocurrencia de las posibles amenazas a las que se enfrenta el sistema sobre el que se está realizando el análisis, así como predecir sus impactos, para después integrar toda esta información en un marco coherente y riguroso que ayude a tomar las mejores decisiones en relación con la gestión de riesgos. El objetivo será reducir la probabilidad de que se produzcan las amenazas consideradas y, llegado el caso, tratar de minimizar su impacto. Los autores realizarán este recorrido por el análisis de riesgos apoyándose en ejemplos y casos que han ido analizando estos años en dominios como la ciberseguridad, la seguridad aérea, la epidemiología, la seguridad nacional, el sector del seguro y los vehículos autónomos.
