This pocket guide serves as an introduction to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and to its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).Now more than ever, organizations need to have a strong and flexible cybersecurity strategy in place in order to both protect themselves and be able to continue business in the event of a successful attack. The NIST CSF is a framework for organizations to manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices.With this pocket guide you can:Adapt the CSF for organizations of any size to implementEstablish an entirely new cybersecurity program, improve an existing one, or simply provide an opportunity to review your cybersecurity practicesBreak down the CSF and understand how other frameworks, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, can integrate into your cybersecurity frameworkBy implementing the CSF in accordance with their needs, organizations can manage cybersecurity risks in the most cost-effective way possible, maximizing the return on investment in the organization's security. This pocket guide also aims to help you take a structured, sensible, risk-based approach to cybersecurity.

A wealth of material has been written to describe the underlying mechanics of ITSM, but very little practical advice is available on how to implement ITSM best practices to achieve an organization's business objectives.The official ITIL volumes explain what service management is, how the processes work and fit together, and why IT functions should adopt the practice, but they are notoriously vague on how to design and implement an ITSM model in a real organization. This challenge is best understood by those with experience of transforming ineffective and expensive IT, yet most ITSM guides are authored from a purely academic standpoint.Real-world IT Service ManagementThis book provides guidance on implementing ITSM Best Practices in an organization based on the authors' real-world experiences. Advice is delivered through a Ten-Step approach, with each step building upon the successes of its predecessors.Subjects covered include:Documenting objectives, identifying current and future demands, analyzing service financials.High-level design, negotiating development priorities, creating an execution plan and roadmap, agreeing roles and responsibilities.Detailed design, building, testing, deploying.Monitoring and continual improvement.Each step includes summary lists of key questions to ask and specific actions to take, and a useful business case template is included as an appendix.A practical guide to ITSMAs organizations seek to boost revenue, cut costs and increase efficiency, they increasingly look to IT as a strategic partner in achieving these objectives.Ten Steps to ITSM Success helps IT to prepare for this role by providing a detailed and practical guide to implementing ITSM best practices. It is aimed at ITSM practitioners and consultants, but will also be of interest to IT Directors and C-suite executives looking to transform the role of IT into a value-creating business partner, to establish a service management culture, and to drive improvements in their respective organizations.

Considering the pandemic threat in a business continuity contextI thoroughly enjoyed reading Clark's book which is written in a style that makes it easy for anyone to understand without requiring a background in medicine or business. I have been involved in disaster management planning for the past ten years and yet I still found this book both enlightening and extremely informative.Dr Tanya Melillo MD, MSc(Dist), PhDThis informative book is written in an easy going and conversational manner, but the message it brings to the table is critical to understanding the meaning of any forthcoming pandemic threat and considerations of how to mitigate the effects, where possible, to you and your organisationOwen Gregory MSc BA (Hons) MBCI MBCSThe increase in commercial aviation and international travel means that pandemics now spread faster than ever before. Seasonal flu pandemics, zoonotic contagions such as Ebola, swine flu and avian flu (e.g. H5N1 and H7N9), and respiratory syndromes such as SARS and MERS have affected millions worldwide. Add the ever-present threat of terrorism and biological warfare, and the possibility of large proportions of your workforce being incapacitated is a lot stronger than you might think.You may well have prepared for limited business interruptions, but how would your business fare if 50% or more of your employees, including those you rely on to execute your business continuity plan, were afflicted by illness - or worse?Although nothing can be done to prevent pandemics, their impact can be significantly mitigated. Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat explains how.Product overviewThe book is divided into two parts, which examine the pandemic threat and explain how businesses can address it:Part I: Understanding the ThreatThe first, shorter, part provides the reader with a detailed overview of the challenge that pandemic threats can present. It uses historical examples (such as the 1918-19 Spanish Flu outbreak, which killed 50 million) to illustrate how pandemics can have devastating effects not only on the global population but also on critical infrastructure, the global economy and society.Part II: Preparing for the InevitableThe second part of the book considers the actions that can be taken at a global, national, corporate and individual level to mitigate the risk and limit the damage of pandemic incidents. It provides guidance on creating and validating a pandemic plan, and explains how it integrates with a business continuity plan. Comprehensive case studies are provided throughout.Topics covered include:The World Health Organisation (WHO)'s pandemic phases and the Centre for Disease Control (CDC)'s Pandemic Severity IndexPreventive control measuresCrisis management and the composition of a crisis management teamDealing with cash-flow, staff absenteeism, home working and supply chain managementCommunications and media plansPandemic issues for HRThe threat to critical national infrastructureHealth service contingency plans and first responders' business continuity plansThe provision of vaccines and antiviral medicines, including relevant ethical issuesTake your business continuity plan to the next level: ensure your organisation survives a pandemic with a substantially depleted workforce.

Ensure the success of your security programme by understanding users' motivations"e;This book cuts to the heart of many of the challenges in risk management, providing advice and tips from interviews as well as models that can be employed easily. Leron manages to do this without being patronising or prescriptive, making it an easy read with some very real practical takeaways."e;Thom Langford, Chief Information Security Officer at Publicis Groupe"e;Based on real world examples the book provides valuable insights into the relationship of information security, compliance, business economics and decision theory. Drawing on interdisciplinary studies, commentary from the field and his own research Leron gives the reader the necessary background and practical tools to drive improvements in their own information security program."e;Daniel Schatz, Director for Threat & Vulnerability Management at Thomson ReutersIn today's corporations, information security professionals have a lot on their plate. In the face of constantly evolving cyber threats they must comply with numerous laws and regulations, protect their company's assets and mitigate risks to the furthest extent possible.Security professionals can often be ignorant of the impact that implementing security policies in a vacuum can have on the end users' core business activities. These end users are, in turn, often unaware of the risk they are exposing the organisation to. They may even feel justified in finding workarounds because they believe that the organisation values productivity over security. The end result is a conflict between the security team and the rest of the business, and increased, rather than reduced, risk.This can be addressed by factoring in an individual's perspective, knowledge and awareness, and a modern, flexible and adaptable information security approach. The aim of the security practice should be to correct employee misconceptions by understanding their motivations and working with the users rather than against them - after all, people are a company's best assets.Product descriptionBased on insights gained from academic research as well as interviews with UK-based security professionals from various sectors,The Psychology of Information Security - Resolving conflicts between security compliance and human behaviourexplains the importance of careful risk management and how to align a security programme with wider business objectives, providing methods and techniques to engage stakeholders and encourage buy-in.The Psychology of Information Securityredresses the balance by considering information security from both viewpoints in order to gain insight into security issues relating to human behaviour , helping security professionals understand how a security culture that puts risk into context promotes compliance.ContentsChapter 1: Introduction to information securityChapter 2: Risk managementChapter 3: The complexity of risk managementChapter 4: Stakeholders and communicationChapter 5: Information security governanceChapter 6: Problems with policiesChapter 7: How security managers make decisionsChapter 8: How users make decisionsChapter 9: Security and usabilityChapter 10: Security cultureChapter 11: The psychology of complianceChapter 12: Conclusion - Changing the approach to securityAppendix: AnalogiesAbout the authorLeron Zinatullin (zinatullin.com) is an experienced risk consultant specialising in cyber security strategy, management and delivery.

Passwords are not enoughA password is a single authentication factor - anyone who has it can use it. No matter how strong it is, if it's lost or stolen it's entirely useless at keeping private information private. To secure your data properly, you also need to use a separate, secondary authentication factor.Data breaches are now commonplaceIn recent years, large-scale data breaches have increased dramatically in both severity and number, and the loss of personal information - including password data - has become commonplace. Add to this the fact that rapidly evolving password-cracking technology and the habitual use - and reuse - of weak passwords has rendered the security of username and password combinations negligible, and you have a very strong argument for more robust identity authentication methods. Consumers are beginning to realise just how exposed their personal and financial information is, and are demanding better security from the organisations that collect, process and store it, which in turn has led to a rise in the uptake of two-factor authentication (TFA or 2FA). In the field of authentication security, the method of proving identity can be broken down into three factor classes - roughly summarised as 'what you have', 'what you are', and 'what you know'. Two-factor authentication relies on the combination of two of these factors.Product overviewTFA is nothing new. It's mandated by requirement 8.3 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and banks have been using it for years, combining paymentcards ('what you have') and PINs ('what you know'). If you use online banking you'll probably also have a chip authentication programme (CAP) keypad, which generates a one-time password (OTP).What is new is TFA's rising uptake beyond the financial sector.Two-Factor Authentication provides a comprehensive evaluation of popular secondary authentication methods, such as:* Hardware-based OTP generation* SMS-based OTP delivery* Phone call-based mechanisms* Geolocation-aware authentication* Push notification-based authentication* Biometric authentication factors* Smart card verificationas well as examining MFA (multi-factor authentication), 2SV (two-step verification) and strong authentication (authentication that goes beyond passwords, using security questions or layered security).The book also discusses the wider application of TFA for the average consumer, for example at such organisations as Google, Amazon and Facebook, as well as considering the future of multi-factor authentication, including its application to the Internet of Things (IoT). Increasing your password strength will do absolutely nothing to protect you from online hacking, phishing attacks or corporate data breaches. If you're concerned about the security of your personal and financial data, you need to read this book.

Applying the Data Protection Act to the CloudThe UK's Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) applies to the whole lifecycle of information, from its original collection to its final destruction. Failure to comply with the DPA's eight principles could lead to claims for compensation from affected individuals and financial penalties of up to 000 from the Information Commissioner's Office, not to mention negative publicity and reputational damage.An expert introductionMore than 85% of businesses now take advantage of Cloud computing, but Cloud computing does not sit easily with the DPA. Data Protection and the Cloud addresses that issue, providing an expert introduction to the legal and practical data protection risks involved in using Cloud services. Data Protection and the Cloud highlights the risks an organisation's use of the Cloud might generate, and offers the kind of remedial measures that might be taken to mitigate those risks.Topics covered include:Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of personal dataData protection responsibilitiesThe data controller/data processor relationshipHow to choose Cloud providersCloud security - including two-factor authentication, data classification and segmentationThe increased vulnerability of data in transitThe problem of BYOD (bring your own device)Data transfer abroad, US Safe Harbor and EU legislationRelevant legislation, frameworks and guidance, including:- the EU General Data Protection Regulation- Cloud computing standards- the international information security standard, ISO 27001- the UK Government's Cyber Essentials scheme and security framework- CESG's Cloud security management principles- guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)Mitigate the security risksMitigating security risks requires a range of combined measures to be used to provide end-to-end security. Moving to the Cloud does not solve security problems, it just adds another element that must be addressed. Data Protection and the Cloud provides information on how to do so while meeting the DPA's eight principles.
