STRATEGY TO COUNTER ISIL AND DEVELOPING A TERRORISM RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
To deal with violent extremist groups effectively, there is a need to develop working terrorism risk management programs.

Terrorism risk management programs provide logical and systematic frameworks for identifying and dealing with potential terrorist threats. They deal with threat identification and initial site assessment, detailed risk assessment, and risk management. Conducting counter-terrorist measures, such as the ISIS threat overview will help organizations in protecting facilities and their occupants. It will also improve emergency planning and disaster recovery, as well as reduce associated financial risks.
