Product Description

The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments provides detailed insight into precisely how to conduct an information security risk assessment. Designed for security professionals and their customers who want a more in-depth understanding of the risk assessment process, this volume contains real-world advice that promotes professional development. It also enables security consumers to better negotiate the scope and rigor of a security assessment, effectively interface with a security assessment team, deliver insightful comments on a draft report, and have a greater understanding of final report recommendations.

This book can save time and money by eliminating guesswork as to what assessment steps to perform, and how to perform them. In addition, the book offers charts, checklists, examples, and templates that speed up data gathering, analysis, and document development. By improving the efficiency of the assessment process, security consultants can deliver a higher-quality service with a larger profit margin.

The text allows consumers to intelligently solicit and review proposals, positioning them to request affordable security risk assessments from quality vendors that meet the needs of their organizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reduce your information risks with this book, Aug 20 2008

By G. Choo "Information assurance evangelist" - Published on Amazon.com

Ce commentaire est de: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments (Hardcover)

I manage information risks for a large organization on a professional basis and this is one of the best books I have read on this important topic. What I found most useful about this book is that it complements rather than competes with formal risk management methods. This book explains techniques and methods that you can use to enhance your existing risk assessment process like data gathering, impact analysis, evaluations and so on. This book should belong on every risk managers bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Way to Learn about Threat Risk Analysis, Mar 24 2008

Ce commentaire est de: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments (Hardcover)

I am taking a class on Threat Risk Assessment and one of our main references is Douglas Landoll's "The Security Risk Assessment Handbook". The great thing about this book is that it takes what would normally be extremely dry material and makes it interesting. The book has a conversational tone which is easy to read, and yet still manages to be very informative. A great tool for anyone who wants to learn about security assessments.

Dear Mr. Doug Landoll,

I have to give you Kudo's on your book. I just bought it and its awesome!!!! There is a section that is so well written regarding the reporting structure of security and how successful the program will be based on InfoSec placement and support. I've never seen it written so well before. Your book will be a career long reference. I hope you write more books.

Take care,
Daniel Nunez, CISSP, CISM
