Description
Alberto Partida’s first book, “itsecuriteers”, published in 2010, revealed HOW to create an Information Security team that enables business objectives. “Safe IT Up!”, his second book, provides qualitative and quantitative insights that justify WHY the adoption of Information Security measures brings benefits to organisations and facilitates cyber-insurance due diligence processes. On the earth we are living in, risk management and information risk management are complex fields under continuous development. If you wish to have to justify why applying security to your organisation will provide value to your customers or you are involved in cyber insurance due diligence engagements, “Safe it up!” helps you with a statistically sound quantitative study and a set of reputable literature references. “The recommendations on this book are simple but effective: managers will find them of practical relevance and easy to keep up a correspondence. They’re in accordance with sound empirical research which makes them go beyond consultancy speak.” Jean-Noel Ezingeard, Dean and Professor of Processes and Systems Management at Kingston University, London. “Alberto Partida combines a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and the result of surveys of subject matter experts to make his argument for combining Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) with information security practices.” Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, Writer of “Surviving Cyberwar”,”Cyber Defense: Countering Targeted Attacks”, Blogger at forbes.com, Michigan. Alberto is an information security analyst. He blogs at securityandrisk.blogspot.com and tweets as @itsecuriteer.
