Ensure the success of your security programme by understanding
users' motivations"This book cuts to the heart of many of the
challenges in risk management, providing advice and tips from
interviews as well as models that can be employed easily. Leron
manages to do this without being patronising or prescriptive,
making it an easy read with some very real practical
takeaways."Thom Langford, Chief Information Security Officer at
Publicis Groupe"Based on real world examples the book provides
valuable insights into the relationship of information security,
compliance, business economics and decision theory. Drawing on
interdisciplinary studies, commentary from the field and his own
research Leron gives the reader the necessary background and
practical tools to drive improvements in their own information
security program."Daniel Schatz, Director for Threat &
Vulnerability Management at Thomson Reuters In today's
corporations, information security professionals have a lot on
their plate. In the face of constantly evolving cyber threats they
must comply with numerous laws and regulations, protect their
company's assets and mitigate risks to the furthest extent
possible.Security professionals can often be ignorant of the impact
that implementing security policies in a vacuum can have on the end
users' core business activities. These end users are, in turn,
often unaware of the risk they are exposing the organisation to.
They may even feel justified in finding workarounds because they
believe that the organisation values productivity over security.
The end result is a conflict between the security team and the rest
of the business, and increased, rather than reduced, risk.This can
be addressed by factoring in an individual's perspective, knowledge
and awareness, and a modern, flexible and adaptable information
security approach. The aim of the security practice should be to
correct employee misconceptions by understanding their motivations
and working with the users rather than against them - after all,
people are a company's best assets.Product descriptionBased on
insights gained from academic research as well as interviews with
UK-based security professionals from various sectors, The
Psychology of Information Security - Resolving conflicts between
security compliance and human behaviour explains the importance of
careful risk management and how to align a security programme with
wider business objectives, providing methods and techniques to
engage stakeholders and encourage buy-in.The Psychology of
Information Security redresses the balance by considering
information security from both viewpoints in order to gain insight
into security issues relating to human behaviour , helping security
professionals understand how a security culture that puts risk into
context promotes compliance. About the authorLeron Zinatullin
