From the first day on the job, many chief information security officers (CISOs) may be secure in their technical skills but know deep inside they have little or no training in leadership, team
building, communication, risk assessment, and corporate business strategy. In other words, the business skills do not come with the suit. This collection of articles drawn from both research
and experience gives new CISOs a quick reference guide, including summaries, recaps and references, for such topics as career advancement, the evolving information security landscape, business
drivers, security as a business function, security leadership, the public sector CISO, street smarts, organizational culture, the art of selling security, security strategy, risk, managing
commitment, measuring security, privacy and ethics, leading in a crisis, avoiding pitfalls, and scanning the horizon for future issues. This works as an in-service guide as well as for
self-study. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
