Filled with clear and easy-to-follow advice, this book also offers readers: A concise introduction to the principles of cybersecurity risk management and the steps necessary to manage digital risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities A valuable exploration of modern tools that can improve an organization’s network infrastructure protection A practical discussion of the challenges involved in detecting and responding to a cyberattack and the importance of continuous security monitoring A helpful examination of the recovery from cybersecurity incidents Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying cybersecurity, Cybersecurity Risk Management is also an ideal resource for IT professionals working in private sector and government organizations worldwide who are considering implementing, or who may be required to implement, the NIST Framework at their organization.

For many companies, their intellectual property can often be more valuable than their physical assets. Having an effective IT governance strategy in place can protect this intellectual property, reducing the risk of theft and infringement. Data protection, privacy and breach regulations, computer misuse around investigatory powers are part of a complex and often competing range of requirements to which directors must respond. There is increasingly the need for an overarching information security framework that can provide context and coherence to compliance activity worldwide. IT Governance is a key resource for forward-thinking managers and executives at all levels, enabling them to understand how decisions about information technology in the organization should be made and monitored, and, in particular, how information security risks are best dealt with. The development of IT governance - which recognises the convergence between business practice and IT management - makes it essential for managers at all levels, and in organizations of all sizes, to understand how best to deal with information security risk. The new edition has been full updated to take account of the latest regulatory and technological developments, including the creation of the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications. IT Governance also includes new material on key international markets - including the UK and the US, Australia and South Africa.

This is the second volume in the Create, Protect, and Deliver Digital Business Value series. It provides practitioners with detailed guidance on creating a NIST Cybersecurity Framework risk management program using NIST Special Publication 800-53, the DVMS Institute's CPD Model, and existing digital business systems. The outcome is a cyber risk management program and culture fit for use, auditable for purpose, and aligned with global cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and regulations. The key takeaway from this book is that securing digital business value is something every employee is responsible for doing every day. Cybersecurity is an intrinsic aspect of securing that value and must be factored into an organization's digital strategy and culture. A culture of cybersecurity starts at the top of an organization and is translated into strategic policies and training programs which are designed to embed that culture across the whole enterprise and its supply chain. The material in this book provides the rubric for the NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) Practitioner and Specialist courses. It presents the narrative that accompanies your course material.

This book provides senior leaders with a comprehensive guide to implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) in their organisations. It introduces the framework and its five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each of these functions is explored in detail, including its key components and best practices for implementation. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the Implementation Tiers, which provide a way for organisations to assess their cybersecurity maturity and identify areas for improvement. The four tiers are described, along with the criteria for achieving each one and the benefits of doing so. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for senior leaders who want to improve their organisations' cybersecurity posture and align their practices with industry standards and regulatory requirements. It provides a clear roadmap for implementing the NIST CSF and reducing cybersecurity risks while protecting critical assets and information.

The book provides the complete strategic understanding requisite to allow a person to create and use the RMF process recommendations for risk management.
