Taylor & Francis Ltd The CISO Journey
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

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Politics of Data Transfer
Book SynopsisIn this book, Yuko Suda examines the Safe Harbor debate, the passenger name record (PNR) dispute, and the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Transactions (SWIFT) affair to understand the transfer of personal data from the European Union (EU) to the United States. She argues that the Safe Harbor, PNR, and SWIFT agreements were made to mitigate the potentially negative effects that may arise from the beyond-the-border reach of EU data protection rules or US counterterrorism regulation. A close examination of these high-profile cases would reveal how beyond-the-border reach of one jurisdiction's regulation might affect another jurisdiction's policy and what responses the affected jurisdiction possibly makes to manage the effects of such extraterritorial regulation.The Politics of Data Transfer adds another dimension to the study of transatlantic data conflicts by assuming that the cases exemplify not only the politics of data privacy but also the politics of extratTrade Review'Personal information is the 21st century’s currency of power. And like gold or paper money, it finds itself increasingly at the center of global political struggles. The Politics of Data Transfer deftly demonstrates that unlike regimes for trade or monetary policy, the political battle is not centered at the tables of international organizations like the World Trade Organization or the International Monetary Fund. Instead, it paints a world in which domestic law (in this case European rules on data privacy) spillover globally, roiling trade and security relations. How these disputes get resolved will determine the terms of global competition as well as the extent of cooperation over key policy issues like counter-terrorism. This book is an excellent call to arms, reminding us to take such dynamics seriously.' - Abraham Newman, Director, Mortara Center for International Studies, Georgetown UniversityTable of ContentsForeword.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Security without Obscurity
Book SynopsisThe traditional view of information security includes the three cornerstones: confidentiality, integrity, and availability; however the author asserts authentication is the third keystone. As the field continues to grow in complexity, novices and professionals need a reliable reference that clearly outlines the essentials. Security without Obscurity: A Guide to Confidentiality, Authentication, and Integrity fills this need. Rather than focusing on compliance or policies and procedures, this book takes a top-down approach.

I am not an auditor, and have never been one. It is true that I have participated in hundreds of audits across different industries and disciplines, as both a customer and much more frequently, as an advisor, but I never had to put my name to the bottom of an attestation (except, I suppose, for a few PCI self-assessment questionnaires). In short, I was concerned that I would not be able to properly grasp it, and thus fail to do it justice. By the time I was done, I found myself with the same concern, but this time, coming from a completely different angle. Because Steve’s book is truly a delight. I have worked with hundreds of auditors, and only a couple of them have ever shown the scope and breadth of experience, the desire to go beyond following rote process, and the sheer interest in staying true to the purpose of an audit – any audit – that Mr. Katzman exhibits in his book. Steve’s personal stories shine through, and really help in framing the conversation. The little quips he embeds throughout his writing made me chuckle repeatedly, certainly not what I expected from a book about what is ultimately a rather dry subject matter. The planning chapter alone is worth the price of entry, as first and foremost it does such a great job at reminding all of us why audits exist in the first place. For me, this work provided a great insight into the mind of an auditor, in a way that I never quite grasped before. That is undoubtedly going to help me in future audits. Considering the way Steve seamlessly transitions between the client and auditor viewpoints, if you are an auditor (the stated target audience for this book), then I cannot imagine how it would fail to help in a mirrored fashion.I find it fitting to end this review by borrowing Steve’s own ending words from the book: "Stay well, stay happy, and stay productive". -- Barak Engel, CISO and author, Why CISOs Fail – The Missing Link in Security Management and How to Fix ItWhen I first received this book for review, I was a bit nervous.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Internet Gambling: Overview of Federal Criminal
Book SynopsisThis book presents a review of the federal criminal statutes implicated by conducting illegal gambling using the Internet. It also discusses some of the constitutional and practical difficulties associated with prosecuting illegal Internet gambling and closes with a summary of the proposed Internet Gambling Prohibition Act (S.474). Gambling is primarily a matter of state law, reinforced by federal law in instances where the presence of an interstate or foreign feature might otherwise frustrate the enforcement policies of state law. State officials and others have expressed concern that the Internet may be used to conduct illegal gambling. Illicit Internet gambling implicates six federal criminal statutes. It is a federal crime to (1) conduct an illegal gambling business, 18 USC 1955; (2) use the telephone or telecommunications to conduct an illegal business; (3) use the facilities of interstate commerce to facilitate conducting an illegal gambling operation; (4) commit a related series of these gambling crimes to acquire or operate an interstate commercial enterprise; (5) launder the proceeds from an illegal gambling business or to plow them back into the business; or (6) spend over $10,000 of the proceeds from an illegal gambling operation at any one time or place. Although prosecution of illegal Internet gambling will likely encounter constitutional challenges, practical difficulties imposed by offshore operations, encryption, remailers and the like will probably pose a more substantial obstacle.
