Information Security Planning: A Practical Approach
by Susan LinckeThis book demonstrates how information security requires a deep understanding of an organization's assets, threats and processes, combined with the technology that can best protect organizational security. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to analyze business processes from a security perspective, while also introducing security concepts and techniques to develop the requirements and design for security technologies. This interdisciplinary book is intended for business and technology audiences, at student or experienced levels.Organizations must first understand the particular threats that an organization may be prone to, including different types of security attacks, social engineering, and fraud incidents, as well as addressing applicable regulation and security standards. This international edition covers Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), American security regulation, and European GDPR. Developing a risk profile helps to estimate the potential costs that an organization may be prone to, including how much should be spent on security controls.Security planning then includes designing information security, as well as network and physical security, incident response and metrics. Business continuity considers how a business may respond to the loss of IT service. Optional areas that may be applicable include data privacy, cloud security, zero trust, secure software requirements and lifecycle, governance, introductory forensics, and ethics.This book targets professionals in business, IT, security, software development or risk. This text enables computer science, information technology, or business students to implement a case study for an industry of their choosing..

Information Security Policies, Procedures, and Standards: A Practitioner's Reference
by Douglas J. LandollInformation Security Policies, Procedures, and Standards: A Practitioner's Reference gives you a blueprint on how to develop effective information security policies and procedures. It uses standards such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and COBIT, and regulations such as HIPAA and PCI DSS as the foundation for the content. Highlighting key terminology, policy development concepts and methods, and suggested document structures, it includes examples, checklists, sample policies and procedures, guidelines, and a synopsis of the applicable standards. The author explains how and why procedures are developed and implemented rather than simply provide information and examples. This is an important distinction because no two organizations are exactly alike; therefore, no two sets of policies and procedures are going to be exactly alike. This approach provides the foundation and understanding you need to write effective policies, procedures, and standards clearly and concisely. Developing policies and procedures may seem to be an overwhelming task. However, by relying on the material presented in this book, adopting the policy development techniques, and examining the examples, the task will not seem so daunting. You can use the discussion material to help sell the concepts, which may be the most difficult aspect of the process. Once you have completed a policy or two, you will have the courage to take on even more tasks. Additionally, the skills you acquire will assist you in other areas of your professional and private life, such as expressing an idea clearly and concisely or creating a project plan.
Information Security Policies, Procedures, and Standards: Guidelines for Effective Information Security Management
by Thomas R. PeltierBy definition, information security exists to protect your organization's valuable information resources. But too often information security efforts are viewed as thwarting business objectives. An effective information security program preserves your information assets and helps you meet business objectives. Information Security Policies, Procedure
Information Security Policy Development for Compliance: ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP 800-53, HIPAA Standard, PCI DSS V2.0, and AUP V5.0
by Barry L. WilliamsAlthough compliance standards can be helpful guides to writing comprehensive security policies, many of the standards state the same requirements in slightly different ways. Information Security Policy Development for Compliance: ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP 800-53, HIPAA Standard, PCI DSS V2.0, and AUP V5.0 provides a simplified way to write policies that meet the major regulatory requirements, without having to manually look up each and every control. Explaining how to write policy statements that address multiple compliance standards and regulatory requirements, the book will help readers elicit management opinions on information security and document the formal and informal procedures currently in place. Topics covered include:Entity-level policies and procedures, Access-control policies and procedures, Change control and change management, System information integrity and monitoring, System services acquisition and protection, Informational asset management, Continuity of operations. The book supplies you with the tools to use the full range of compliance standards as guides for writing policies that meet the security needs of your organization. Detailing a methodology to facilitate the elicitation process, it asks pointed questions to help you obtain the information needed to write relevant policies. More importantly, this methodology can help you identify the weaknesses and vulnerabilities that exist in your organization. A valuable resource for policy writers who must meet multiple compliance standards, this guidebook is also available in eBook format. The eBook version includes hyperlinks beside each statement that explain what the various standards say about each topic and provide time-saving guidance in determining what your policy should include.
Information Security Risk Analysis
by Thomas R. PeltierSuccessful security professionals have had to modify the process of responding to new threats in the high-profile, ultra-connected business environment. But just because a threat exists does not mean that your organization is at risk. This is what risk assessment is all about. Information Security Risk Analysis, Third Edition demonstrates how to id
Information Security and Employee Behaviour: How to Reduce Risk Through Employee Education, Training and Awareness
by Angus McIlwraithResearch suggests that between 60-75% of all information security incidents are the result of a lack of knowledge and/or understanding amongst an organization's own staff. And yet the great majority of money spent protecting systems is focused on creating technical defences against external threats. Angus McIlwraith's book explains how corporate culture affects perceptions of risk and information security, and how this in turn affects employee behaviour. He then provides a pragmatic approach for educating and training employees in information security and explains how different metrics can be used to assess awareness and behaviour. Information security awareness will always be an ongoing struggle against complacency, problems associated with new systems and technology, and the challenge of other more glamorous and often short term priorities. Information Security and Employee Behaviour will help you develop the capability and culture that will enable your organization to avoid or reduce the impact of unwanted security breaches.
Information Security and Employee Behaviour: How to Reduce Risk Through Employee Education, Training and Awareness
by Angus McIlwraithResearch conducted over many years suggests that between 60 and 85 per cent of all information security incidents are the result of a lack of knowledge and/or understanding amongst an organisation's own people. And yet the great majority of money spent protecting systems is focused on creating technical defences against often exaggerated external threats. Angus McIlwraith's book explains how corporate culture affects perceptions of risk and information security, and how this in turn affects employee behaviour. He then provides a pragmatic approach for educating and training employees in information security and explains how different metrics can be used to assess awareness and behaviour. Information security awareness will always be an ongoing struggle against complacency, problems associated with new systems and technology, and the challenge of other more glamorous and often short-term priorities. Information Security and Employee Behaviour will help you develop the capability and culture that will enable your organisation to avoid or reduce the impact of unwanted security breaches. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, incorporating other areas like anthropology and other non-technical disciplines which are making an impact on recent developments. It also explores the technology used to deliver communication, education and awareness, particularly in the areas of online delivery and recent developments such as ‘gamification’, as well as the ways in which the research, tools, techniques and methodologies relating to the measurement and change of organisational culture have matured.

Information Security: Opportunities and Limitations
by Thomas LiedtkeThis book explains the most important technical terms and contents and assigns them to the corresponding areas. It also includes seemingly peripheral areas that play a role in information security. For instance, the topic complexes of functional Safety and Privacy are examined in terms of their similarities and differences. The book presents currently used attack patterns and how to protect against them. Protection must be implemented on both a technical level (e.g., through the use of cryptography) and on an organizational and personnel level (e.g., through appropriate management systems and awareness training). How can one determine how secure data is? How can relevant threats be identified that need protection? How do risk analyses proceed?
Information Security: Policy, Processes, and Practices (Advances In Management Information Systems Ser. #42)
by Richard Baskerville Seymour Goodman Detmar W. StraubInformation security is everyone's concern. The way we live is underwritten by information system infrastructures, most notably the Internet.

Information Services Design: A Design Science Approach for Sustainable Knowledge (Routledge Studies in Organization and Systems)
by Fons WijnhovenInformation services are economic and organizational activities for informing people. Because informing is changing rapidly under the influence of internet-technologies, this book presents in Chapter 1 fundamental notions of information and knowledge, based on philosopher C.W. Churchman’s inquiring systems. This results in the identification of three product-oriented design theory aspects: content, use value and revenue. Chapter 2 describes how one can cope with these aspects by presenting process-oriented design theory. Both design theory insights are applied in chapters on information services challenges, their business concepts and processes, their architectures and exploitation. The final chapter discusses three case studies that integrate the insights from previous chapters, and it discusses some ideas for future research. This book gives students a coherent start to the topic of information services from a design science perspective, with a balance between technical and managerial aspects. Therefore, this book is useful for modern curricula of management, communication science and information systems. Because of its design science approach, it also explains design science principles. The book also serves professionals and academics in search of a foundational understanding of informing as a science and management practice.

Information Spillover Effect and Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models (Routledge Advances in Risk Management)
by Shouyang Wang Xiangli Liu Yanhui Liu Yongmiao HongThis book studies the information spillover among financial markets and explores the intraday effect and ACD models with high frequency data. This book also contributes theoretically by providing a new statistical methodology with comparative advantages for analyzing comovements between two time series. It explores this new method by testing the information spillover between the Chinese stock market and the international market, futures market and spot market. Using the high frequency data, this book investigates the intraday effect and examines which type of ACD model is particularly suited in capturing financial duration dynamics. The book will be of invaluable use to scholars and graduate students interested in comovements among different financial markets and financial market microstructure and to investors and regulation departments looking to improve their risk management.

Information System Audit: How to Control the Digital Disruption (Security, Audit and Leadership Series)
by Philippe PeretThe digitalization of companies is a recurrent topic of conversation for managers. Companies are forced to evolve at least as fast as their competitors. They have to review their organization, their processes, and their way of working. This also concerns auditors in terms of their audit strategy and working methods. Digitalization is the tip of the iceberg that represents the increasing reliance on information technology of the company’s information system. Companies have seen new competitors succeed with a digital approach, competitors that have opened new markets or new ways of interacting with their customers, and all business processes can be digitalized. In this new paradigm, auditors have to renew themselves too. Long gone are the days of auditors specializing in one technique, like financial auditors or IT auditors. This makes it a phenomenal opportunity for auditing to renew itself, embracing the vision of the company’s information system: long live the information system auditors! This book proposes you to go step by step from a common understanding of our history of auditing to gradually defining and justifying the impacts of digitalization on the audit strategy and the preparation of audits.
