Introduction to Security Risk Analysis for GMSM
Conducting a security check for Golden Moon Shopping Mall (GMSM) is really important because
the mall is having more and more problems with safety. It's a big mall, and it's in a place near a
settlement where there are a lot of problems. The mall has been dealing with things like robbery,
cheating, and breaking things. Doing this security check means looking carefully at all the
problems the mall might have. If they don't do this, it could be dangerous for people who visit the
mall and work there. It could also lose a lot of money and people might not want to come back
because they feel unsafe. So, by doing this check, they can find out what's wrong, make things
safer, and keep everyone happy and secure. It shows that the mall really cares about keeping
people safe and happy when they visit.
Identifying Threats and Assets at Risk
The first step in the analysis is to identify potential threats to GMSM's security, considering both
internal and external factors. Assets at risk include physical property, financial resources,
information, and human capital. For GMSM, these assets are susceptible to various types of
crimes, such as theft, fraud, and assault, as evidenced by past incidents reported to mall
management and law enforcement. It's important to think about everything that's valuable at the
mall, like the buildings, money, information, and the people who work and shop there.
Unfortunately, these things can be targets for different kinds of crimes, like stealing, lying, and
hurting people. We know this because there have been problems like this before, and the mall has
reported them to the people in charge and the police. Identifying these threats and assets at risk
