The Cyber Security Handbook – Prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber attacks with the IT Governance Cyber Resilience Framework (CRF) will:
For today’s organizations, which rely so heavily on technology – particularly the Internet – to do business, the latter is far more threatening. The cyber threat landscape is complex and constantly changing. For every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation.
Because virtually every organization holds valuable information, often in huge quantities (even small businesses), everyone is a target. It should therefore not come as a surprise that 46% of UK businesses experienced at least one cyber attack or breach during 2019, which increased to as much as 75% for large businesses. Often, organization cannot do business if they lose access to that information – making it one of their most important assets.
This book is a comprehensive cybersecurity implementation manual, which gives practical guidance on the individual activities identified in the IT Governance CRF that can help organisations become cyber resilient and combat cyber threats.
Suitable for senior directors (CEO, CISO, CIO), compliance managers, privacy managers, IT managers, security analysts, and others, the book is divided into six parts:
