About the Book
This book provides the essential steps to applying the concepts of cybersecurity risk management. In lively and clear language, the book delivers practical applications for the most important cybersecurity risk management framework available today, the Framework for Improving Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure produced by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Why Risk Management Is Important
As information security becomes a dominant determinant of the failure or success of all digitally connected systems, it has become increasingly imperative to stay ahead of the curve in securing those systems to outpace criminals, nation-states and all manner of bad actors. Cybersecurity risk management principles and practices are therefore crucial to ensuring a secure future for all digital connected enterprises, governments and educational institutions. Initially released in February 2014 and updated once since then, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework has become the gold standard for managing cybersecurity risks for governments and businesses throughout the world.
