How do you engage with your peers when they think you're there to
stop them working? 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. Product overview
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: How to understand the security culture of the organisation
Getting to know the organisation and building relationships with
key personnel How to identify gaps in the organisation's security
set-up The impact of compromise on the organisation Identifying,
categorising and prioritising risks The five levels of risk
appetite and how to apply risk treatments via security controls
Understanding the threats facing your organisation and how to
communicate them How to raise security awareness and engage with
specific peer groups System mapping and documentation (including
control boundaries and where risks exist) The importance of
conducting regular penetration testing and what to do with the
results Information security policies and processes A
standards-based approach to information security If you're starting
a new job as an information security professional, Information
Security: A Practical Guide contains all you need to know. About
the author Tom Mooney has over ten years' IT experience working
with sensitive information. His current role is as a security risk
advisor for the UK Government, where he works with project teams
and the wider organisation to deliver key business systems
securely. His key responsibility is to act as an intermediary
between management and IT teams to ensure appropriate security
controls are put in place. His extensive experience has led him to
develop many skills and techniques to converse with people who are
not technical or information security experts. Many of these skills
and techniques are found in this book. He has a BSc (Hons) in
information and computer security, and is also a CESG certified
professional.
