Information security a practical guide provides an overview of basic information security practices that will enable
your security team
to better engage with their peers to address the threats facing the organisation as a whole.
If you’re starting a new job as an information security professional, Information Security: A Practical Guide
contains all you need to know.
Corporate information security is often hindered by a lack of adequate communication between the security team and the rest of the organisation. Information security affects the whole company and is a responsibility shared by all staff, so failing to obtain wider acceptance can endanger the security of the entire organisation. Many consider information security a block, not a benefit, however, and view security professionals with suspicion if not outright hostility. As a security professional, how can you get broader buy-in from your colleagues?
Information Security: A Practical Guide addresses that issue by providing an overview of basic information security practices that will enable your security team to better engage with their peers to address the threats facing the organisation as a whole.
Covering everything from your first day at work as an information security professional to developing and implementing enterprise-wide information security processes, Information Security: A Practical Guide explains the basics of information security, and how to explain them to management and others so that security risks can be appropriately addressed.
Topics covered include:
