The new emphasis on physical security, resulting from the terrorist threat, has forced many cyber security professionals to struggle to maintain their organization's focus on protecting information assets. In order to command attention, they need to emphasize the broader role of cyber security in the strategy of their companies. Until now, however, most books about strategy and planning have focused on the production side of the business, rather than operations. The required readings in this course will integrate the importance of sound security policy with the strategic goals of an organization. It provides IT professionals and management with insight into the issues surrounding the goals of protecting valuable information assets. The text reiterates that an effective cyber security program relies on more than policies or hardware and software, instead it hinges on having a mindset that security is a core part of the business and not just an afterthought.
