While security from intentional acts, such as terrorism, used to be an area of secrecy where the security services played a central part, mitigation and protection from the threat of terrorism has nowadays become an area where citizens, companies and different official bodies have a shared responsibility. This is reflected in the many official strategies against terrorism which have been published in most Western countries in recent years (Aly, 2013; Jore, 2012). In order to manage the risk of terrorism, governments in most Western countries have highlighted risk-management thinking as a tool for protecting critical objects and critical infrastructures against the threat of terrorism, especially after the terrorist attack in the US on September 11th 2001 (9/11) (Office U. S. G. A., 2005).
