“This is an excellent book that covers all of the relevant topics needed for implementing a successful security program. The author clearly understands both security and business issues and explains the need for senior management involvement and how a security process must complement the overall business process. … The writing is clear and readable for nontechnical people. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in cyber security.” (Computing Reviews, May, 2017)
