Abstract
A new approach to threat analysis and management of security understood has been presented. Threats have been analyzed in a wide theoretical-methodological range with particular emphasis on the need for the system-wide analysis of threats in terms of social (sociological), psychological (psychology of the crowd) and religious aspects. A method supporting security management has been proposed, using two-person zero-sum games to model situations of conflict. The matrix, infinite, logical and topological forms of such games are considered.
