"This book is the perfect primer for both the security professional novice and those wishing for a basic refresher course on everything from best practices to basic available technologies. The book begins with a general overview of what security encompasses from an operational standpoint and expectations an organization might expect its department to deliver. The book then moves into the basic building blocks of security: assessing risk and creating a strategic mitigation plan. ... The book charts an easy-to-follow course of processes and procedures to make sure most operational bases are covered. ... The fact that the authors have laid out a logical roadmap for everything from the creation of concept through policy writing and technology makes for a clear understanding of how the security process works. By emphasizing the operations, policies, compliance, and collaborative aspects of security, they have chosen to paint a complete picture of what a successful security department needs to build on. ...This book is a must read for security beginners and veterans alike. For those just entering the industry, it provides an excellent foundation for a broad spectrum of topics from theory, operations, risk assessment, and establishing your program's policy roadmap to what basic security technology every security pro should possess. For those who are veteran security practitioners, this book serves them well as a reference tool. The range of topics and the expertise of the writers make this a book most security professionals should add to their collections. I know I will."-Steve Lasky, Cygnus Security Media Group, USA
