Book excerpt: For many companies, their intellectual property can often be more valuable than their physical assets. Having an effective IT governance strategy in place can protect this intellectual property, reducing the risk of theft and infringement.

There is increasingly the need for an overarching information security framework that can provide context and coherence to compliance activity worldwide. IT Governance is a key resource for forward-thinking managers and executives at all levels, enabling them to understand how decisions about information technology in the organization should be made and monitored, and, in particular, how information security risks are best dealt with. The development of IT governance - which recognises the convergence between business practice and IT management - makes it essential for managers at all levels, and in organizations of all sizes, to understand how best to deal with information security risk. The new edition has been full updated to take account of the latest regulatory and technological developments, including the creation of the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications.

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISO 27001/ISO 27002 – A guide to information security management systems ISO 27001 is one of the leading information security standards. It offers an internationally recognised route for organisations of all sizes and industries to adopt and demonstrate effective, independently verified information security. Information is the lifeblood of the modern world. It is at the heart of our personal and working lives, yet all too often control of that information is in the hands of organisations, not individuals. As a result, there is ever-increasing pressure on those organisations to ensure the information they hold is adequately protected. Demonstrating that an organisation is a responsible custodian of information is not simply a matter of complying with the law – it has become a defining factor in an organisation’s success or failure. The negative publicity and loss of trust associated with data breaches and cyber attacks can seriously impact customer retention and future business opportunities, while an increasing number of tender opportunities are only open to those with independently certified information security measures. Understand how information security standards can improve your organisation’s security and set it apart from competitors with this introduction to the 2022 updates of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002.

Download or read book Cyber Essentials A guide to the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications written by Alan Calder and published by IT Governance Ltd. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber Essentials – A guide to Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications Cyber attacks are a fact of life in the information age. For any organisation that connects to the Internet, the issue is not if an attack will come, but when. Most cyber attacks are performed by relatively unskilled criminals using tools available online. These attacks are often opportunistic: looking for easy targets rather than rich pickings. The Cyber Essentials scheme is a UK government-backed effort to encourage UK-based organisations to improve their cyber security by adopting measures (called controls) that defend against common, less-sophisticated cyber attacks. The scheme recommends practical defences that should be within the capability of any organisation. The Cyber Essentials scheme has two levels: The basic Cyber Essentials; and Cyber Essentials Plus. This first part of this book will examine the various threats that are most significant in the modern digital environment, their targets and their impacts. It will help you to understand whether your organisation is ready for Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification. The second part of the book presents a selection of additional resources that are available to help you implement the controls or become certified.
Download or read book Cyber resilience Defence in depth principles written by Alan Calder and published by IT Governance Ltd. This book was released on 2023-08-10 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world where technology and vast quantities of data play a considerable role in everyday life, both personal and professional. For the foreseeable future (and perhaps beyond), the growth and prominence of data in business shows no signs of slowing down, even if the technology in question will likely change in ways perhaps unimaginable today. Naturally, all this innovation brings huge opportunities and benefits to organisations and people alike. However, these come at more than just a financial cost. In the world as we know it, you can be attacked both physically and virtually. For today’s organisations, which rely so heavily on technology – particularly the Internet – to do business, the latter attack is the far more threatening of the two. The cyber threat landscape is complex and constantly changing. For every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation. Worse, when a vulnerability is identified, a tool that can exploit it is often developed and used within hours – faster than the time it normally takes for the vendor to release a patch, and certainly quicker than the time many organisations take to install that patch. This book has been divided into two parts: Part 1: Security principles. Part 2: Reference controls. Part 1 is designed to give you a concise but solid grounding in the principles of good security, covering key terms, risk management, different aspects of security, defence in depth, implementation tips, and more. This part is best read from beginning to end. Part 2 is intended as a useful reference, discussing a wide range of good-practice controls (in alphabetical order) you may want to consider implementing. Each control is discussed at a high level, focusing on the broader principles, concepts and points to consider, rather than specific solutions. Each control has also been written as a stand-alone chapter, so you can just read the controls that interest you, in an order that suits you.
Download or read book The CISO Perspective Understand the importance of the CISO in the cyber threat landscape written by Barry Kouns and published by IT Governance Ltd. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated edition, the security threat landscape has widened and the challenge for CISOs to be more than just security coordinators has become a mandate for organizational survival. This book challenges and guides information security professionals to think about information security and risk management from the enterprise level, and not just from the IT perspective. Read this book and understand how: The CISO’s role can improve an organization’s cyber strategy. An enterprise’s view of information security, business continuity, compliance, safety, and physical security is crucial for the success of your organisation’s cyber security defense. Soft skills are crucial in order for the CISO to communicate effectively with the Board and other departments in the organisation. Standards such as ISO 27001:2022 can help your organisation implement a suitable ISMS (information security management system). Risk management is imperative to identify, analyze, evaluate and protect the organization’s assets.

This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combatting Cyber Terrorism – A guide to understanding the cyber threat landscape and incident response planning In his second book with IT Governance Publishing, Richard Bingley’s Combatting Cyber Terrorism – A guide to understanding the cyber threat landscape and incident response planning analyses the evolution of cyber terrorism and what organisations can do to mitigate this threat. This book discusses: Definitions of cyber terrorism; Ideologies and idealisations that can lead to cyber terrorism; How threat actors use computer systems to diversify, complicate and increase terrorist attack impacts; The role of Big Tech and social media organisations such as X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram within the cyber threat landscape; and How organisations can prepare for acts of cyber terrorism via security planning and incident response strategies such as ISO 31000, ISO 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Increasingly, cyber security practitioners are confronted with a stark phrase: cyber terrorism. For many, it conveys fear and hopelessness. What is this thing called ‘cyber terrorism’ and what can we begin to do about it? Malicious-minded ICT users, programmers and even programs (including much AI-powered software) have all been instrumental in recruiting, inspiring, training, executing and amplifying acts of terrorism. This has resulted in the loss of life and/or life-changing physical injuries that could never have occurred without support and facilitation from the cyber sphere. These types of attacks can be encapsulated by the phrase ‘cyber terrorism’. The Internet is an integral part of everyday life for the vast majority of organisations and people. Web access has become viewed as an essential human right, and a prerequisite of citizenship and societal belonging. Despite well-meaning interventions by a range of influential stakeholders (tech companies, governments, police and academia), our computer networks remain riddled with cyber threats. Accessing terrorism content does not require much in the way of research skills, technical ability or patience. This book recounts case studies to show the types of threats we face and provides a comprehensive coverage of risk management tactics and strategies to protect yourself against such nefarious threat actors. These include key mitigation and controls for information security or security and HR-related professionals.
