Book Description
Cybersecurity issues, problems and incidents don’t always relate to technological faults. Many can be avoided or mitigated through improved cybersecurity awareness, behaviour and culture change (ABCs). This book guides organisations looking to create an enhanced security culture through improved understanding and practice of cybersecurity at an individual level. Key awareness, behaviour and culture concepts are covered from the ground up, alongside practical tips and examples.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘Security ABC’s provides a fresh and innovative approach to designing and implementing your cyber security awareness program. Unlike the majority of books on the subject, the language is easy to digest and the techniques human-focused. I would recommend this book to anyone involved in Information security looking to engage the wider organisation and improve cyber security awareness.’ –Helen Mary Jones CITP CISSP * Group Information Security Manager, The Jockey Club *
‘A must read for all CISOs and Cybersecurity leaders who want to include people into their cybersecurity strategy. This book has made me realize that our traditional methods to Cybersecurity Awareness, Behavior and Culture has needed a substantial modern approach to empowering people into being a strong link in cybersecurity.’ –Joseph Carson CISSP , Chief Security Scientist & Advisory CISO, Thycotic
‘An excellent read, and essential for cybersecurity leaders at all levels. This book provides not only easy to understand language, but ‘lived’ experiences, techniques and considerations to improve Awareness, Behaviour and Culture within an organisation. It provides a holistic approach, starting with examining the behaviour of the cybersecurity professional, before dealing with wider organisational change. As this is the only resource I have seen to offer practical Awareness solutions, it also makes it the missing piece from most major, industry-leading certifications.’ –Gary Cocklin CITP CISSP , Senior Cyber Security Instructor, UK Royal Air Force (RAF)
