{"product_id":"creating-an-information-security-program-walter-williams-9780367554644","title":"Creating an Information Security Program from Scratch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for the first security hire in an organization, either an individual moving into this role from within the organization or hired into the role. More and more, organizations are realizing that information security requires a dedicated team with leadership distinct from information technology, and often the people who are placed into those positions have no idea where to start or how to prioritize. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are many issues competing for their attention, standards that say do this or do that, laws, regulations, customer demands, and no guidance on what is actually effective. This book offers guidance on approaches that work for how you prioritize and build a comprehensive information security program that protects your organization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile most books targeted at information security professionals explore specific subjects with deep expertise, this book explores the depth and breadth of the field. Instead of exploring a technology such as cloud security or a technique such as risk analysis, this book places those into the larger context of how to meet an organization's needs, how to prioritize, and what success looks like. Guides to the maturation of practice are offered, along with pointers for each topic on where to go for an in-depth exploration of each topic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike more typical books on information security that advocate a single perspective, this book explores competing perspectives with an eye to providing the pros and cons of the different approaches and the implications of choices on implementation and on maturity, as often a choice on an approach needs to change as an organization grows and matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036755464X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367554644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Walter Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136017805567,"sku":"9780367554644","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7179dce4-abec-4c11-92b8-6ba5adb013da.jpg?v=1770159962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/creating-an-information-security-program-walter-williams-9780367554644","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
