Strategic Cyber Security Management
This textbook places cyber security management within an organizational and strategic framework, enabling students to develop their knowledge and skills for a future career. The reader will learn to:
• evaluate different types of cyber risk
• carry out a threat analysis and place cyber threats in order of severity
• formulate appropriate cyber security management policy
• establish an organization-specific intelligence framework and security culture
• devise and implement a cyber security awareness programme
• integrate cyber security within an organization’s operating system
Learning objectives, chapter summaries and further reading in each chapter provide structure and routes to further in-depth research. Firm theoretical grounding is coupled with short problem-based case studies reflecting a range of organizations and perspectives, illustrating how the theory translates to practice, with each case study followed by a set of questions to encourage understanding and analysis. Non-technical and comprehensive, this textbook shows final year undergraduate students and postgraduate students of Cyber Security Management, as well as reflective practitioners, how to adopt a pro-active approach to the management of cyber security. Online resources include PowerPoint slides, an instructor’s manual and a test bank of questions.
