Information Security Management Principles cover

In today’s technology-driven environment there is an ever-increasing demand for information delivery. A compromise has to be struck between security and availability. This book is a pragmatic guide to information assurance for both business professionals and technical experts.

Written in an accessible manner, Information Security Management Principles provides practical guidance and actionable steps to better prepare your workplace and your home alike, and keep your information secure. This book is a primer for those new to the subject as well as a guide for more experienced practitioners. It explains the fundamentals of information security, how to shape good organisational security practice, and how to recover effectively should the worst happen. 

This fourth edition has been updated to reflect the latest threats and vulnerabilities in the IT security landscape, and updates to standards, good practice guides and legislation. It aligns to the updated BCS Certification in Information Security Management Principles, which this book supports as essential reading.

The fourth edition of Information Security Management Principles successfully updates an already excellent handbook, that describes a complex and dynamic subject area that is key for any organisation. Providing material for the aspiring security professional, the work also includes content for the more experienced practitioner, including modern security practices concerning artificial intelligence.
