Cybersecurity for Information Professionals by Hsia-Ching Chang,Suliman Hawamdeh Pdf

Information professionals have been paying more attention and putting a greater focus on privacy over cybersecurity. However, the number of both cybersecurity and privacy breach incidents are soaring, which indicates that cybersecurity risks are high and growing. Utilizing cybersecurity awareness training in organizations has been an effective tool to promote a cybersecurity-conscious culture, making individuals more cybersecurity-conscious as well. However, it is unknown if employees’ security behavior at work can be extended to their security behavior at home and personal life. On the one hand, information professionals need to inherit their role as data and information gatekeepers to safeguard data and information assets. On the other hand, information professionals can aid in enabling effective information access and dissemination of cybersecurity knowledge to make users conscious about the cybersecurity and privacy risks that are often hidden in the cyber universe. Cybersecurity for Information Professionals: Concepts and Applications introduces fundamental concepts in cybersecurity and addresses some of the challenges faced by information professionals, librarians, archivists, record managers, students, and professionals in related disciplines. This book is written especially for educators preparing courses in information security, cybersecurity, and the integration of privacy and cybersecurity. The chapters contained in this book present multiple and diverse perspectives from professionals in the field of cybersecurity. They cover such topics as: Information governance and cybersecurity User privacy and security online and the role of information professionals Cybersecurity and social media Healthcare regulations, threats, and their impact on cybersecurity A socio-technical perspective on mobile cybersecurity Cybersecurity in the software development life cycle Data security and privacy Above all, the book addresses the ongoing challenges of cybersecurity. In particular, it explains how information professionals can contribute to long-term workforce development by designing and leading cybersecurity awareness campaigns or cybersecurity hygiene programs to change people’s security behavior.

Cybersecurity Readiness by Dave Chatterjee Pdf

"Information security has become an important and critical component of every organization. In his book, Professor Chatterjee explains the challenges that organizations experience to protect information assets. The book sheds light on different aspects of cybersecurity including a history and impact of the most recent security breaches, as well as the strategic and leadership components that help build strong cybersecurity programs. This book helps bridge the gap between academia and practice and provides important insights that may help professionals in every industry." Mauricio Angee, Chief Information Security Officer, GenesisCare USA, Fort Myers, Florida, USA "This book by Dave Chatterjee is by far the most comprehensive book on cybersecurity management. Cybersecurity is on top of the minds of board members, CEOs, and CIOs as they strive to protect their employees and intellectual property. This book is a must-read for CIOs and CISOs to build a robust cybersecurity program for their organizations." Vidhya Belapure, Chief Information Officer, Huber Engineered Materials & CP Kelco, Marietta, Georgia, USA Cybersecurity has traditionally been the purview of information technology professionals, who possess specialized knowledge and speak a language that few outside of their department can understand. In our current corporate landscape, however, cybersecurity awareness must be an organization-wide management competency in order to mitigate major threats to an organization’s well-being—and be prepared to act if the worst happens. With rapidly expanding attacks and evolving methods of attack, organizations are in a perpetual state of breach and have to deal with this existential threat head-on. Cybersecurity preparedness is a critical and distinctive competency, and this book is intended to help students and practitioners develop and enhance this capability, as individuals continue to be both the strongest and weakest links in a cyber defense system. In addition to providing the non-specialist with a jargon-free overview of cybersecurity threats, Dr. Chatterjee focuses most of the book on developing a practical and easy-to-comprehend management framework and success factors that will help leaders assess cybersecurity risks, address organizational weaknesses, and build a collaborative culture that is informed and responsive. Through brief case studies, literature review, and practical tools, he creates a manual for the student and professional alike to put into practice essential skills for any workplace.

Optimal Spending on Cybersecurity Measures by Tara Kissoon Pdf

"This book explores the strategic decisions made by organizations when implementing cybersecurity controls, leveraging economic models and theories from the economics of information security and risk management frameworks. Based on unique and distinct research completed within the field of risk management and information security, this book provides insight into organizational risk management processes utilized in determining cybersecurity investments. It looks at how theoretical models and frameworks rely on either specific scenarios or controlled conditions, and how decisions on cybersecurity spending within organizations, specifically the funding available in comparison to the recommended security measures necessary for compliance, vary depending on stakeholders. As the trade-off between the costs of implementing a security measure and the benefit derived from the implementation of the security control is not easily measured, a business leader's decision to fund security measures may be biased. The author presents an innovative approach to assess cyber security initiatives with a risk management perspective and leverages a data-centric focus on the evolution of cyber-attacks. This book is ideal for business school students and technology professionals with an interest in risk management"--

Information Law, Governance, and Cybersecurity by SHARON K.. LEVINE SANDEEN (DAVID S.),David S. Levine Pdf

This book is designed to teach law students and information professionals the law and practices related to information management, or what is increasingly referred to as the practice of information governance. Of necessity, it covers a lot of ground: from information contracts and information torts to government transparency and cybersecurity. It is, in effect, an information law survey book, but one that combines a discussion of applicable law with the practical and process orientation that is a hallmark of those involved in information governance.
