Joshua Sinai, PhD – Enterprise Security Risk Management

Dr. Joshua Sinai specializes in applying enterprise security risk mitigation methods in homeland security, particularly in areas such as mitigating active shooters, workplace violence, terrorism, ‘insiders’, and cyber. His specializations include developing analytic toolkits and templates to support the operational communities in areas such as threat awareness, preparedness (including emergency response plans), response, and recovery (including taskings involved in recovering from a spectrum of man-made and natural disasters). This includes the application of forecasting tool kits, such as Red Teaming methodologies. He is a widely published author, which his publications including “Active Shooter: A Handbook on Prevention” (ASIS International, May 2016, 2^nd edition); a chapter on “The United States of America Domestic Counterterrorism Since 9/11” in Andrew Silke (ed.), Routledge Handbook of Terrorism and Counterterrorism (Routledge, 2018); “Israel and Combating Terrorism: Assessing the Effectiveness of Netanyahu’s Combating Terrorism Strategy,” in Robert O. Freedman (ed.), Israel Under Netanyahu: Domestic Politics and Foreign Policy (Routledge, January 2020); and “Prevention of Low-Tech, Lone Actor Terrorist Attacks in the United States,” in Alex P. Schmid (ed.), Handbook of Terrorism Prevention and Preparedness (The Hague: ICCT online, mid-2020). He has published numerous profiles of terrorist threats against countries and their governmental CT response measures. He has also published several hundred reviews of books on terrorism and CT-related subjects. He earned his Masters degree and doctorate from Columbia University in political science (comparative politics).

Areas of Specialization:

• Application of Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) methodologies to manage the mitigation of risks in threat areas such as active shooter, workplace violence, terrorism, ‘insiders’, and cyber
• Development and application of Emergency Response Plans (ERPs)
• Application of Red Teaming Methodologies to structure workshops and tabletop exercises
• Development of user-friendly materials and handbooks to provide tool kits and templates for use by operational communities in daily public safety work
• Specialize in researching and writing about African security-related issues
