For an organization to function effectively, its security controls
must not be so restrictive that the business is denied the ability
to be innovative and flexible. But increasingly pervasive threats
mandate vigilance in unlikely areas. Adaptive Security Management
Architecture enables security professionals to structure the best
program designed to meet the complex needs of an entire
organization, taking into account the organization's business goals
as well as the surrounding controls, processes, and units already
in existence. Security aligned with business needs Introducing the
concept of Adaptive Security Management Architecture (ASMA), the
book explains how an organization can develop an adaptive security
program closely aligned to business needs, making it an enabling
force that helps the organization achieve its goals and objectives.
Describing how to achieve this adaptability, the book cites several
examples and concepts to demonstrate aspects of managing change. It
presents the end product of a successful security management system
and examines the finer points of how it can be accomplished. Risk
management and governance The book explores the security and
business attributes that must be considered in the development of
services and discusses the importance of consistency of management
of services. In a section on risk management, the author explains
how this important component is directly integrated with the ASMA
model. He also discusses the critical element of governance and its
importance to demonstrating value and ensuring effective
adaptation. Lastly, the book examines how proper organizational
management can give the executive and leadership team the necessary
oversight to ensure the entire security program meets stated
expectations. It also describes the capability maturity model,
which ensures that all the co-dependent features of the
There are many books that detail tools and techniques of
penetration testing, but none of these effectively communicate how
the information gathered from tests should be analyzed and
implemented. Until recently, there was very little strategic
information available to explain the value of ethical hacking and
how tests should be performed in order to provide a company with
insight beyond a mere listing of security vulnerabilities. Now
there is a resource that illustrates how an organization can gain
as much value from an ethical hack as possible. The Ethical Hack: A
Framework for Business Value Penetration Testing explains the
methodologies, framework, and "unwritten conventions" that ethical
hacks should employ to provide the maximum value to organizations
that want to harden their security. This book is unique in that it
goes beyond the technical aspects of penetration testing to address
the processes and rules of engagement required for successful
tests. It examines testing from a strategic perspective, shedding
light on how testing ramifications affect an entire organization.
Security practitioners can use this resource to reduce their
exposure and deliver a focused, valuable service to customers.
Organizations will learn how to align the information about tools,
techniques, and vulnerabilities that they gathered from testing
with their overall business objectives.

What is IPSec? What's a VPN? Why do the need each other? Virtual
Private Network (VPN) has become one of the most recognized terms
in our industry, yet there continuously seems to be different
impressions of what VPNs really are and can become. A Technical
Guide to IPSec Virtual Private Networks provides a single point of
information that represents hundreds or resources and years of
experience with IPSec VPN solutions. It cuts through the complexity
surrounding IPSec and the idiosyncrasies of design, implementation,
operations, and security. Starting with a primer on the IP protocol
suite, the book travels layer by layer through the protocols and
the technologies that make VPNs possible. It includes security
theory, cryptography, RAS, authentication, IKE, IPSec,
encapsulation, keys, and policies. After explaining the
technologies and their interrelationships, the book provides
sections on implementation and product evaluation. A Technical
Guide to IPSec Virtual Private Networks arms information security,
network, and system engineers and administrators with the knowledge
and the methodologies to design and deploy VPNs in the real world
for real companies.

CISO's Guide to Penetration Testing: A Framework to Plan, Manage,
and Maximize Benefits details the methodologies, framework, and
unwritten conventions penetration tests should cover to provide the
most value to your organization and your customers. Discussing the
process from both a consultative and technical perspective, it
provides an overview of the common tools and exploits used by
attackers along with the rationale for why they are used. From the
first meeting to accepting the deliverables and knowing what to do
with the results, James Tiller explains what to expect from all
phases of the testing life cycle. He describes how to set test
expectations and how to identify a good test from a bad one. He
introduces the business characteristics of testing, the imposed and
inherent limitations, and describes how to deal with those
limitations. The book outlines a framework for protecting
confidential information and security professionals during testing.
It covers social engineering and explains how to tune the plethora
of options to best use this investigative tool within your own
environment. Ideal for senior security management and anyone else
responsible for ensuring a sound security posture, this reference
depicts a wide range of possible attack scenarios. It illustrates
the complete cycle of attack from the hacker's perspective and
presents a comprehensive framework to help you meet the objectives
of penetration testing-including deliverables and the final report.
