The book sheds light on different aspects of cybersecurity including a history and impact of the most recent security breaches, as well as the strategic and leadership components that help build strong cybersecurity programs. This book helps bridge the gap between academia and practice and provides important insights that may help professionals in every industry." Mauricio Angee, Chief Information Security Officer, GenesisCare USA, Fort Myers, Florida, USA "This book by Dave Chatterjee is by far the most comprehensive book on cybersecurity management. Cybersecurity is on top of the minds of board members, CEOs, and CIOs as they strive to protect their employees and intellectual property. This book is a must-read for CIOs and CISOs to build a robust cybersecurity program for their organizations." Vidhya Belapure, Chief Information Officer, Huber Engineered Materials & CP Kelco, Marietta, Georgia, USA Cybersecurity has traditionally been the purview of information technology professionals, who possess specialized knowledge and speak a language that few outside of their department can understand. In our current corporate landscape, however, cybersecurity awareness must be an organization-wide management competency in order to mitigate major threats to an organization’s well-being—and be prepared to act if the worst happens. With rapidly expanding attacks and evolving methods of attack, organizations are in a perpetual state of breach and have to deal with this existential threat head-on. Cybersecurity preparedness is a critical and distinctive competency, and this book is intended to help students and practitioners develop and enhance this capability, as individuals continue to be both the strongest and weakest links in a cyber defense system. In addition to providing the non-specialist with a jargon-free overview of cybersecurity threats, Dr. Chatterjee focuses most of the book on developing a practical and easy-to-comprehend management framework and success factors that will help leaders assess cybersecurity risks, address organizational weaknesses, and build a collaborative culture that is informed and responsive. Through brief case studies, literature review, and practical tools, he creates a manual for the student and professional alike to put into practice essential skills for any workplace.

Organizations face increasing cybersecurity attacks that threaten their sensitive data, systems, and existence; but there are solutions. Experts recommend cybersecurity training and general awareness learning experiences as strategic necessities; however, organizations lack cybersecurity training planning, implementation, and optimization guidance. Cybersecurity Training: A Pathway to Readiness addresses the demand to provide cybersecurity training aligned with the normal flow of IT project delivery and technology operations. Cybersecurity Training combines best practices found in standards and frameworks like ITIL technology management, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO risk, quality and information security management systems, and the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge. Trainers will appreciate the approach that builds on the ADDIE model of instructional design, Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Thought, and Kirkpatrick’s Model of Evaluation, a trilogy of training best practices. Readers learn to apply this proven project-oriented training approach to improve the probability of successful cybersecurity awareness and role-based training experiences. The reader is guided to initiate, plan, design, develop, pilot, implement and evaluate training and learning, followed by continual improvement sprints and projects. Cybersecurity Training prepares trainers, project managers, and IT security professionals to deliver and optimize cybersecurity training so that organizations and its people are ready to prevent and mitigate cybersecurity threats leading to more resilient organizations.

In the Digital Age of the twenty-first century, the question is not if you will be targeted, but when. Are you prepared? If not, where does one begin? For an enterprise to be fully prepared for the immanent attack, it must be actively monitoring networks, taking proactive steps to understand and contain attacks, enabling continued operation during an incident, and have a full recovery plan already in place. Cybersecurity expert Ray Rothrock has provided for businesses large and small a must-have resource that highlights: the tactics used by today’s hackers, vulnerabilities lurking in networks, and strategies not just for surviving attacks, but thriving while under assault. Businesses and individuals will understand better the threats they face, be able to identify and address weaknesses, and respond to exploits swiftly and effectively. From data theft to downed servers, from malware to human error, cyber events can be triggered anytime from anywhere around the globe. Digital Resilience provides the resilience-building strategies your business needs to prevail--no matter what strikes.

The review examined cybersecurity at the governance layer and identified five critical pillars key to cybersecurity readiness: culture, people, structure, processes, and resources. The task was to examine the Department of the Navy (DON) current cyberspace governance structures to assess if they are optimally focused, organized, and resourced to prevent or mitigate future incidents. The team was specifically directed to examine the DON cybersecurity posture as well as the organizational and industrial environments in which previous events occurred. Finally, the review team was charged with investigating end-to-end cybersecurity processes to assess the alignment of authority, accountability, and responsibility within the DON. To fully understand the current cybersecurity posture, this review examined the shift of national defense strategy, to include past and present information strategies, cyber strategies, cyber policies, and guidance across all elements of the government that has occurred since the 2017 National Security Strategy and 2018 National Defense Strategy’s acknowledged return to global peer rivalry.

Understand and respond to a new generation of cybersecurity threats Cybersecurity has never been a more significant concern of modern businesses, with security breaches and confidential data exposure as potentially existential risks.

Emerging alongside the widespread adoption of networked information technologies, cybersecurity incidents represent a significant threat to our common well-being. The institutional construct of a Computer-Emergency Response Team (CERT) began to evolve thirty years ago as a response to security incidents in the nascent Internet. This book, Next Generation CERTs, presents papers arising from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop “New Generation CERT: from Response to Readiness - Strategy and Guidelines”, held in Chiavari, Italy, from 28 - 30 March 2017. The workshop enabled 38 leading experts from NATO members and affiliate states to discuss the limitations of current CERTs and identify the improvements that are likely to shape the CERTs of the future. After the workshop, participants were invited to submit the papers included here. The book is divided into 3 main sections: state of the art; next generation CERTs; and the experience of CERTs. A number of approaches are covered – technical, tactical, strategic – which could be applied to both civilian and military environments. Providing an insight into the likely future development of CERTs, the book will be of interest to all those involved in the field of cybersecurity.
