In the world as we know it, you can be attacked both physically and
virtually. For today's organisations, which rely so heavily on
technology - particularly the Internet - to do business, the latter is
the far more threatening of the two. The cyber threat landscape is
complex and constantly changing. For every vulnerability fixed, another
pops up, ripe for exploitation.
This book is a comprehensive cyber security implementation manual which
gives practical guidance on the individual activities identified in the
IT Governance Cyber Resilience Framework (CRF) that can help
organisations become cyber resilient and combat the cyber threat
landscape.
Suitable for senior directors (CEO, CISO, CIO), compliance managers,
privacy managers, IT managers, security analysts and others, the book is
divided into six parts:
Part 1: Introduction. The world of cyber security and the approach
taken in this book.
Part 2: Threats and vulnerabilities. A discussion of a range of
threats organisations face, organised by threat category, to help you
understand what you are defending yourself against before you start
thinking about your actual defences.
Part 3: The CRF processes. Detailed discussions of each of the 24
CRF processes, explaining a wide range of security areas by process
category and offering guidance on how to implement each.
Part 4: Eight steps to implementing cyber security. Our
eight-step approach to implementing the cyber security processes you
need and maintaining them.
Part 5: Reference frameworks. An explanation of how standards and
frameworks work, along with their benefits. It also presents ten
framework options, introducing you to some of the best-known standards
and giving you an idea of the range available.
Part 6: Conclusion and appendices. The appendices include a glossary
of all the acronyms and abbreviations used in this book.
Whether you are just starting out on the road to cyber security or
looking to enhance and improve your existing cyber resilience programme,
it should be clear that cyber security is no longer optional in today's
information age; it is an essential component of business success.
Make sure you understand the threats and vulnerabilities your
organisation faces and how the Cyber Resilience Framework can help you
tackle them. Start your journey to cyber security now - buy this book
