Book SynopsisThe book takes readers though a series of security and risk discussions based on real-life experiences. While the experience story may not be technical, it will relate specifically to a value or skill critical to being a successful CISO. The core content is organized into ten major chapters, each relating to a Rule of Information Security developed through a career of real life experiences. The elements are selected to accelerate the development of CISO skills critical to success. Each segments clearly calls out lessons learned and skills to be developed. The last segment of the book addresses presenting security to senior execs and board members, and provides sample content and materials.Trade ReviewAs a CISO, I approached Gene's book with caution. Put two such people in a room and ask them a question, and an argument will inevitably ensue - even if they agree. Therefore, and as you might expect, I found some of Gene's conclusions to differ from mine. But what really stood out to me is how, even as I was having these arguments play out inside my head, I seemed to also be adopting an almost imperceptible yet constant nod. I could not help but enjoy reading his thoughtful analysis of every information security topic that he chooses to tackle, and his ability to tie everything together in an easy-to-understand, clear and logical fashion is highly appreciated and sorely needed in the industry.Then, as I continued my journey through Gene's carefully laid-out thoughts and explanations, personal experiences, war stories, and insightful advice, it became apparent that this is far more than merely an instructional book into the many aspects of managing information security. Indeed, for anyone who is interested in advancing their career in the field, this book offers countless tools that can be followed to success, in every area. Just the chapter "NEVER trust and ALWAYS verify" is itself worth the price of admission.Consume it slowly, and give it the attention it deserves, and Gene's book will repay you for it in spades. You may not follow his exact path, but whatever path you take, his guidance will certainly help you forward.-- Barak Engel, CISO and author of Why CISOs Fail: The Missing Link in Security Management--and How to Fix ItTable of ContentsList of FiguresList of TablesPrologueForewordAcknowledgmentsAuthorSection I INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY1 Introduction: The Journey2 Learning from History?3 My First CISO Lesson: The SquirrelSection II THE RULES AND INDUSTRY DISCUSSION4 A Weak Foundation Amplifies Risk5 If a Bad Guy Tricks You into Running His Code on Your Computer, It’s Not Your Computer Anymore6 There’s Always a Bad Guy Out There Who’s Smarter, More Knowledgeable, or Better-Equipped Than You7 Know the Enemy, Think Like the Enemy8 Know the Business, Not Just the Technology9 Technology Is Only One-Third of Any Solution10 Every Organization Must Assume Some Risk11 When Preparation Meets Opportunity, Excellence Happens12 There Are Only Two Kinds of Organizations: Those That Know They’ve Been Compromised and Those That Don’t Know Yet13 In Information Security, Just Like in Life, Evolution Is Always Preferable to Extinction14 A Security Culture Is In Place When Talk Is Replaced with Action15 NEVER Trust and ALWAYS VerifySection III SUMMARY16 My Best Advice for New CISOsAppendix A: The Written Information Security PlanAppendix B: Talking to the BoardAppendix C: Establishing an Incident Response ProgramAppendix D: Sample High-Level Risk Assessment Methodology

Book SynopsisThis new volume, Information Security Management Systems: A Novel Framework and Software as a Tool for Compliance with Information Security Standard, looks at information security management system standards, risk management associated with information security, and information security awareness within an organization. The authors aim to improve the overall ability of organizations to participate, forecast, and actively assess their information security circumstances. It is important to note that securing and keeping information from parties who do not have authorization to access such information is an extremely important issue. To address this issue, it is essential for an organization to implement an ISMS standard such as ISO 27001 to address the issue comprehensively. The authors of this new volume have constructed a novel security framework (ISF) and subsequently used this framework to develop software called Integrated Solution Modeling (ISM), a semi-automated system that will greatly help organizations comply with ISO 27001 faster and cheaper than other existing methods. In addition, ISM does not only help organizations to assess their information security compliance with ISO 27001, but it can also be used as a monitoring tool, helping organizations monitor the security statuses of their information resources as well as monitor potential threats. ISM is developed to provide solutions to solve obstacles, difficulties, and expected challenges associated with literacy and governance of ISO 27001. It also functions to assess the RISC level of organizations towards compliance with ISO 27001.The information provide here will act as blueprints for managing information security within business organizations. It will allow users to compare and benchmark their own processes and practices against these results shown and come up with new, critical insights to aid them in information security standard (ISO 27001) adoption.

Book SynopsisA must-have resource for anyone looking to establish, implement and maintain an ISMS. Ideal for information security managers, auditors, consultants and organisations preparing for ISO 27001 certification, this book will help readers understand the requirements of an ISMS (information security management system) based on ISO 27001. Similarly, for anyone involved in internal or external audits, the book includes the definitive requirements that auditors must address when certifying organisations to ISO 27001. The book covers: Implementation guidance - what needs to be considered to fulfil the requirements of the controls from ISO/IEC 27001, Annex A. This guidance is aligned with ISO/IEC 27002, which gives advice on implementing the controls; Auditing guidance - what should be checked, and how, when examining the ISO/IEC 27001 controls to ensure that the implementation covers the ISMS control requirements. The implementation guidance gives clear descriptions covering what needs to be considered to achieve compliance against the requirements, with examples given throughout. The auditing guidance covers what evidence an auditor should look for in order to satisfy themselves that the requirement has been met. Useful for internal auditors and consultants, the auditing guidance will also be useful for information security managers and lead implementers as a means of confirming that their implementation and evidence to support it will be sufficient to pass an audit. This guide is intended to be used by those involved in: Designing, implementing and/or maintaining an ISMS; Preparing for ISMS audits and assessments; or Undertaking both internal and third-party ISMS audits and assessments About the author Bridget Kenyon (CISSP) is global CISO for Thales eSecurity. Her experience in information security started in 2000 with a role in network vulnerabilities at DERA, following which she has been a PCI Qualified Security Assessor, information security officer for Warwick University and head of information security for UCL, and has held a variety of roles in consultancy and academia. Bridget has been contributing to international standards since 2006, when she first joined BSI Panel 1, coordinating development of information security management system standards; she is currently editor for ISO/IEC 27014.

Book SynopsisAttribution - tracing those responsible for a cyber attack - is of primary importance when classifying it as a criminal act, an act of war, or an act of terrorism. Three assumptions dominate current thinking: attribution is a technical problem; it is unsolvable; and it is unique. Approaching attribution as a problem forces us to consider it either as solved or unsolved. Yet attribution is far more nuanced, and is best approached as a process in constant flux, driven by judicial and political pressures. In the criminal context, courts must assess the guilt of criminals, mainly based on technical evidence. In the national security context, decision-makers must analyse unreliable and mainly non-technical information in order to identify an enemy of the state. Attribution in both contexts is political: in criminal cases, laws reflect society's prevailing norms and power; in national security cases, attribution reflects a state's will to maintain, increase or assert its power. However, both processes differ on many levels. The constraints, which reflect common aspects of many other political issues, constitute the structure of the book: the need for judgement calls, the role of private companies, the standards of evidence, the role of time, and the plausible deniability of attacks.Trade ReviewWho did it? This is one of the hardest questions of any investigation. It gets even harder in high-profile computer network breaches. Clement Guitton's book is an invaluable guide to attributing cyber attacks. 'Inside the Enemy's Computer' adds much-needed attention to detail, historical depth, and conceptual clarity. -- Thomas Rid, Professor in War Studies, King's College London, and author of 'Cyber War Will Not Take Place'If you believe attribution in cyberspace is a technical problem, that it cannot be solved, and that it is unlike anything in the physical world, then you must read this illuminating book. Dr Guitton shows that attribution is really the evolving product of a political process -- as it should be. -- Richard Bejtlich, Chief Security Strategist, FireEye'Inside the Enemy's Computer' is a much-needed statement on the difficulties, and possibilities, of attributing cyber actions. Guitton provides a workable framework for moving forward on the issue, for both malicious criminal attacks as well as national security-related intrusions. -- Brandon Valeriano, Reader in International Relations, Cardiff University, and author of 'Cyber War versus Cyber Realities'

Book Synopsis2020 Foreword Indie Award Winner (Gold) in the "Science & Technology" Category"Chilling, eye-opening, and timely, Cyber Privacy makes a strong case for the urgent need to reform the laws and policies that protect our personal data. If your reaction to that statement is to shrug your shoulders, think again. As April Falcon Doss expertly explains, data tracking is a real problem that affects every single one of us on a daily basis." —General Michael V. Hayden, USAF, Ret., former Director of CIA and NSA and former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence You're being tracked. Amazon, Google, Facebook, governments. No matter who we are or where we go, someone is collecting our data: to profile us, target us, assess us; to predict our behavior and analyze our attitudes; to influence the things we do and buy—even to impact our vote. If this makes you uneasy, it should. We live in an era of unprecedented data aggregation, and it's never been more difficult to navigate the trade-offs between individual privacy, personal convenience, national security, and corporate profits. Technology is evolving quickly, while laws and policies are changing slowly. You shouldn't have to be a privacy expert to understand what happens to your data. April Falcon Doss, a privacy expert and former NSA and Senate lawyer, has seen this imbalance in action. She wants to empower individuals and see policy catch up. In Cyber Privacy, Doss demystifies the digital footprints we leave in our daily lives and reveals how our data is being used—sometimes against us—by the private sector, the government, and even our employers and schools. She explains the trends in data science, technology, and the law that impact our everyday privacy. She tackles big questions: how data aggregation undermines personal autonomy, how to measure what privacy is worth, and how society can benefit from big data while managing its risks and being clear-eyed about its cost. It's high time to rethink notions of privacy and what, if anything, limits the power of those who are constantly watching, listening, and learning about us. This book is for readers who want answers to three questions: Who has your data? Why should you care? And most important, what can you do about it?Trade Review"In Cyber Privacy, April Falcon Doss has written the most sweeping, revealing, and understandable book about privacy and our digital lives . . . A must-read if you want to understand how both businesses and governments know so much about you and how our society needs to adapt to preserve an individual's sense of identity." —Glenn Gerstell, senior advisor, Center for Strategic and International Studies, and former general counsel, National Security Agency "We all have serious—but too often vague—concerns that every day computer usage poses a dire threat to our personal and financial well-being, as well the nation's security. In her new book Cyber Privacy, April Falcon Doss—the nation's leading expert on this subject—not only tells why that is so, but in a clear and engaging way arms us with strategies to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and the nation itself from life-threatening assaults on our privacy." —Michael Greenberger, professor, University of Maryland Carey Law School and director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security, University of Maryland "From big tech companies, retailers, advertising companies, through to the police and intelligence agencies of the US and beyond, this is an absolutely critical read for anyone who wants to understand the complex, and often unintuitive, consequences of living in our increasingly data-driven world." —Matt Tait, independent cybersecurity expert, formerly at GCHQ and Google Project Zero, and former senior cybersecurity fellow at the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas at Austin "A brilliantly written tour de force on privacy in the 21st century. Combining decades of experience on all sides of the privacy debate, Doss combines incisive analysis of disruptive technologies, underlying economics, and increasingly complex legal overlays to deliver an essential primer on the fraught privacy landscape." —Chris Inglis, deputy director, NSA, 2006–2014 "At a time when most internet users do not understand the complex concoction of algorithms, engagement, microtargeting, and personal data profiles that curate the information they see, April Falcon Doss uses her multi-sector experience to make privacy accessible to all. Anyone who cares about maintaining a grip on their personal information—or at least being informed about what's happening with it—should read this book." —Nina Jankowicz, author of How to Lose the Information War "Without losing sight of the substantial benefits that are achieved through collecting and analyzing personal information on a massive scale, Doss exposes the unregulated practices of the large data collectors—including Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google—then examines the regulated practices of the Intelligence Community and the constraints—good and bad—on law enforcement activities . . . This book makes the case that we seriously need to re-examine what we are doing, and it provides useful guidance on where and how we can start to make meaningful changes that will benefit most everyone." —David C. Shonka, former acting general counsel, Federal Trade Commission, and privacy partner at Redgrave LLP "April Falcon Doss has provided a vital contribution to our understanding of privacy and cybersecurity. Cyber Privacy provides laymen and experts alike with a rich understanding of the laws and technology that shape our ability to control who accesses our personal information and what they do with it." —Jeff Kosseff, author, The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet "Whether you are a technology user, a compliance or privacy officer, or a practicing lawyer, this book will help in understanding the complex intersections of technology, the internet economy, the role of the state, and the uses of personally identifiable information and metadata . . . An essential guidebook." —Rick Ledgett, former deputy director, NSA "April Falcon Doss thoughtfully, expertly and critically informs and navigates the reader across an amazing number of privacy invasion scenarios to an extent not seen in previous publications . . . Novice and expert readers alike will profit from this important book." —William H. Murphy, Jr., former judge and prominent civil rights attorney "April Falcon Doss has spent a career at the National Security Agency, Senate intelligence committee, and in private practice influencing the decisions that shape technology, cybersecurity, and data privacy. In this book, Doss turns twenty years of perspective and experience into a Cyber Privacy road map to guide those looking to understand how data came to rule our world and where we go from here." —Susan Hennessey, author of Unmaking the PresidencyTable of ContentsContents Introduction: Mapping the Privacy Landscape Section I: What Kinds of Data Are We Talking About, and What Kind of Privacy Do We Mean?

Book SynopsisToday, we live our lives—and conduct our business—online. Our data is in the cloud and in our pockets on our smartphones, shuttled over public Wi-Fi and company networks. To keep it safe, we rely on passwords and encryption and private servers, IT departments and best practices. But as you read this, there is a 70 percent chance that your data is compromised . . . you just don’t know it yet. Cybersecurity attacks have increased exponentially, but because they’re stealthy and often invisible, many underplay, ignore, or simply don’t realize the danger. By the time they discover a breach, most individuals and businesses have been compromised for over three years. Instead of waiting until a problem surfaces, avoiding a data disaster means acting now to prevent one. In Cyber Crisis, Eric Cole gives readers a clear-eyed picture of the information war raging in cyberspace. Drawing on 30 years of experience—as a professional hacker for the CIA, as the Obama administration’s cybersecurity commissioner, and as a consultant to clients around the globe from Bill Gates to Lockheed Martin and McAfee—Cole offers practical, actionable advice that even those with little technical background can implement, including steps to take on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to protect their businesses and themselves. No matter who you are or where you work, cybersecurity should be a top priority. The information infrastructure we rely on in every sector of our lives—in healthcare and finance, for governments and private citizens—is both critical and vulnerable, and sooner or later, you or your company will be a target. This book is your guide to understanding the threat and putting together a proactive plan to minimize exposure and damage, and ensure the security of your business, your family, and your future.Trade Review“Strong cybersecurity is essential for every individual and business in this time of elevated threats. In Cyber Crisis, Dr. Cole provides cutting-edge, real-world advice on how to protect your business and your family from today’s persistent cyber threats.”—Andrew McCabe, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Threat and former deputy FBI director“The more I work with high-profile individuals, I realize the impact that cybersecurity can have on their lives.
