The Information Systems Security Officer’s Guide, Second Edition continues and builds on the tradition of the best-selling First Edition. In recent years, the ever-changing nature of business has exponentially increased the use of computers and the flow of information, communication, and financial transactions online. New and emerging attacks continue to threaten corporate and organizational entities, serving to justify the business need for an experienced ISSO. As a result, information systems security continues to be one of the fastest growing professions in the world today.

Over the past 40 years, Dr. Kovacich has developed successful, cost-effective techniques to protect information systems. The ISSO’s Guide takes a business approach to protecting information and information networks. It works from the ground up, providing readers a total information systems protection approach beginning with a discussion of the world of the ISSO and establishing the position of the ISSO to create and manage an InfoSec program.

The Second Edition includes expanded coverage of sections on global changes and threats, how to manage a global InfoSec program, how to measure the performance of an organization (metrics), and how to integrate and manage foreign-based facilities. In addition, six new chapters cover emerging trends including high-tech fraud, information warfare, investigative support for law enforcement authorities, information security in the interests of national security, ISSO career development, and information security consulting.

Key Features:

  • Provides invaluable tips for effective communication with management and other departments
  • Includes proven methods of measuring protection, costs, savings, and benefits
  • Contains practical advice on budgeting, hiring, and problem-solving
