Download or read book CERT Resilience Management Model CERT RMM written by Richard A. Caralli and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 1059 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CERT® Resilience Management Model (CERT-RMM) is an innovative and transformative way to manage operational resilience in complex, risk-evolving environments. CERT-RMM distills years of research into best practices for managing the security and survivability of people, information, technology, and facilities. It integrates these best practices into a unified, capability-focused maturity model that encompasses security, business continuity, and IT operations. By using CERT-RMM, organizations can escape silo-driven approaches to managing operational risk and align to achieve strategic resilience management goals. This book both introduces CERT-RMM and presents the model in its entirety. It begins with essential background for all professionals, whether they have previously used process improvement models or not. Next, it explains CERT-RMM’s Generic Goals and Practices and discusses various approaches for using the model. Short essays by a number of contributors illustrate how CERT-RMM can be applied for different purposes or can be used to improve an existing program. Finally, the book provides a complete baseline understanding of all 26 process areas included in CERT-RMM. Part One summarizes the value of a process improvement approach to managing resilience, explains CERT-RMM’s conventions and core principles, describes the model architecturally, and shows how itsupports relationships tightly linked to your objectives. Part Two focuses on using CERT-RMM to establish a foundation for sustaining operational resilience management processes in complex environments where risks rapidly emerge and change. Part Three details all 26 CERT-RMM process areas, from asset definition through vulnerability resolution. For each, complete descriptions of goals and practices are presented, with realistic examples. Part Four contains appendices, including Targeted Improvement Roadmaps, a glossary, and other reference materials. This book will be valuable to anyone seeking to improve the mission assurance of high-value services, including leaders of large enterprise or organizational units, security or business continuity specialists, managers of large IT operations, and those using methodologies such as ISO 27000, COBIT, ITIL, or CMMI.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 100,000 organizations throughout the European Union have to comply with the NIS2 Directive. Is your organization one of them? If so, what do you need to do to become compliant? Two questions that are easy to ask, but the answers are never as straightforward. With 46 articles, 144 provisions, and over 140 references to other documents, the NIS2 is anything but easy to read, let alone interpret. This book provides an answer to your questions in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way. The NIS2 Navigator’s Handbook is written in plain English terms to help members of management bodies (including security and IT management) understand the Directive and its intentions. An extensive analysis of the scope specifications, with a clear Annex to support it, provides insight into the NIS2’s scope and an answer to the first question. For the second question, the book walks you through the different requirements that organizations must comply with. A GAP assessment included in the Annexes of the book, that can be used at a high level or in depth, provides you with an understanding of your level of compliance and the steps you need to take to become compliant. The book also comes with access to an assessment tool that allows you to perform the assessment in a number of languages. If you need to understand the impact of the NIS2 Directive on your organization, this book provides you the ultimate answer.

Book excerpt: The new emergingtechnologiesput new requirementsonsecurityanddata m- agement.Asdataareaccessibleanytimeanywhere,itbecomesmucheasiertoget unauthorized data access. Furthermore, the use of new technologies has brought some privacy concerns. It becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal information thereby endangering people’s privacy. Therefore, research in secure data management is gaining importance, attracting the attention of both the data management and the security research communities. The interesting pr- lems range from traditional topics, such as, access control and general database security, via privacy protection to new research directions, such as cryptogra- ically enforced access control and encrypted databases. This year, the call for papers attracted 24 papers both from universities and industry. For presentation at the workshop,the ProgramCommittee selected 10 full papers (41% acceptance rate). These papers are collected in this volume, which we hope will serve as a useful research and reference material. The papers in the proceeding are grouped into three sections. The ?rst s- tion focuses on database security which remains an important research area. The papers in this section address several interesting topics including query optimization in encrypted databases, database provenance, database intrusion detection, and con?dence policy compliant query evaluation. The second section changes the focal point to the topic of access control. The papers in this s- tion deal with provenance access control, access control model for collaborative editors, self-modifying access control policies, and enforcing access control on XML documents. The third section focuses on privacy protection addressing the privacy issues around location-based services and anonymity/diversity for the micro-data release problem.
