Description
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.
