Reviews / Votes
The first edition was outstanding. The new second edition is even better - an excellent textbook packed with sound advice and loads of tips to make your security awareness program pull its weight.... engaging and stimulating, easy to read yet at the same time thought-provoking. ... chock-full of good ideas, not just theoretical concepts but solid practical advice that can be put to use immediately. A side effect is that there are lots of lists, tables and bullet points but they are well structured and succinctly summarize the key points. ... an excellent reference text. Extensive appendices (130 pages) include sample awareness materials and plans, a security glossary, various checklist/questionnaires and references. This is the definitive and indispensable guide for information security and privacy awareness and training professionals, worth every cent. As with the first edition, we recommend it unreservedly.-NoticeBored.comThis book is remarkable because it covers in detail all the facets of providing effective security awareness training...I can, without reservation, recommend use of this book to any organization faced with the need to develop a successful training and awareness program. It surely provides everything you need to know to create a real winner.-Hal Tipton, from the Foreword
Rebecca Herold has the answers in her definitive book on everything everybody needs to know about how to impart security awareness, training, and motivation. Motivation had been missing from the information security lexicon until Herold put it there in most thorough and effective ways ... She demonstrates that security must become a part of job performance rather than being in conflict with job performance... The power of this book also lies in applying real education theory, methods, and practice to teaching security awareness and training ... After reading this book, there is no question about the necessary and important roles of security awareness, training, and motivation.-Donn B. Parker, CISSP, from the Preface
Rebecca Herold, an independent computer security advisor, knows privacy. Not all security consultants do. In her latest book, Managing an Information Security and Privacy Awareness and Training Program, Herold has collected her best advice.-Privacy Journal
... perfect for lay and professional audiences, this is a guide not for implementing technical necessities but for getting everybody in an organization on board.-Journal of Productive Innovation
