Product Description

Review

… this book, now in its second edition, covers a lot of ground for its 450 or so pages: information security, physical and environmental exposures, personnel risk and business continuity. Its author, a one-time senior analyst at the NSA, is clearly highly experienced in managing very large-scale risk assessment exercises. … a valuable guide for those commissioning or planning risk assessment exercises.
— Michael Barwise, BSc, CEng, CITP, MBCS, in InfoSec Reviews, July 2011

Product Description

Conducted properly, information security risk assessments provide managers with the feedback needed to understand threats to corporate assets, determine vulnerabilities of current controls, and select appropriate safeguards. Performed incorrectly, they can provide the false sense of security that allows potential threats to develop into disastrous losses of proprietary information, capital, and corporate value.

Picking up where its bestselling predecessor left off, The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments, Second Edition gives you detailed instruction on how to conduct a risk assessment effectively and efficiently. Supplying wide-ranging coverage that includes security risk analysis, mitigation, and risk assessment reporting, this updated edition provides the tools needed to solicit and review the scope and rigor of risk assessment proposals with competence and confidence.

Trusted to assess security for leading organizations and government agencies, including the CIA, NSA, and NATO, Douglas Landoll unveils the little-known tips, tricks, and techniques used by savvy security professionals in the field. He details time-tested methods to help you:

Better negotiate the scope and rigor of security assessments
Effectively interface with security assessment teams
Gain an improved understanding of final report recommendations
Deliver insightful comments on draft reports

The book includes charts, checklists, and sample reports to help you speed up the data gathering, analysis, and document development process. Walking you through the process of conducting an effective security assessment, it provides the tools and up-to-date understanding you need to select the security measures best suited to your organization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Risk management book Doug Landoll, Aug 9 2011

By D. Christofferson - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments, Second Edition (Hardcover)

I bought this book as a door prize, where Doug is speaking at our request to local security professional trade groups. Have not read it. It's current and relevant to our field, but ... expensive.
