Practical Information Security Management provides a wealth of practical advice for anyone responsible for information security management in the workplace, focusing on the βhowβ rather than the βwhatβ. Together weβll cut through the policies, regulations, and standards to expose the real inner workings of what makes a security management program effective, covering the full gamut of subject matter pertaining to security management: organizational structures, security architectures, technical controls, governance frameworks, and operational security.
This book was not written to help you pass your CISSP, CISM, or CISMP or become a PCI-DSS auditor. It wonβt help you build an ISO 27001 or COBIT-compliant security management system, and it wonβt help you become an ethical hacker or digital forensics investigator β there are many excellent books on the market that cover these subjects in detail. Instead, this is a practical book that offers years of real-world experience in helping you focus on the getting the job done.
