One nice text that I like very much, though it's not covering computer
security, is Barry Boehm's IEEE tutorial on "Software Risk Management".
I like the idea of covering Risk Management rather than just the Risk
Analysis. (My experience is that too many well planned or well analysed
'things' still go wrong because they're not well managed.) Anyway, reading
Boehm's introductions to each part of the tutorial is recommended.
