Organizations commit ever-increasing resources to information security, often finding themselves “chasing the problem” through technology solutions instead of doing what is needed; adopting the proper Security Mind. 
By treating information security like an ordinary technological practice—that is, throwing money at the latest security tech, they often wind up with expensive but flawed solutions. How do you avoid this trap? Change your way of thinking about security: grasp the reasoning, philosophy, and logic that underlie all successful security efforts.

In Inside the Security Mind: Making the Tough Decisions, Kevin teaches you how to approach cyber security the way the top gurus do—as an art rather than a collection of technologies. By applying this discipline, your solutions will be more secure and less burdensome in time, expense, and effort. Part one of the book explains the practice of breaking security decisions down into a set of simple rules. These rules may then be applied to make solid security decisions in almost any environment. In part two, Kevin uses a series of practical examples to illustrate how the discipline works in practice. 

 

This book is essential reading for anyone working to keep information secure. Technical and non-technical IT professionals alike can apply these concepts and strategies to become security gurus. At the same time, seasoned practitioners will benefit from the unique and effective presentation of the essential security practices.
