To be resilient against cyber attacks, organisations must do more than just erect digital defences; a significant percentage of successful attacks originate in the physical world or are aided and exacerbated by environmental vulnerabilities. Effective cyber security therefore requires a comprehensive, systematic and robust ISMS (information security management system), with boards, customers and regulators all seeking assurance that information risks have been identified and are being managed.

In his second book with IT Governance Publishing, Richard Bingley's Combatting Cyber Terrorism - A guide to understanding the cyber threat landscape and incident response planning analyses the evolution of cyber terrorism and what organisations can do to mitigate this threat.
This book discusses:
Increasingly, cyber security practitioners are confronted with a stark phrase: cyber terrorism. For many, it conveys fear and hopelessness. What is this thing called 'cyber terrorism' and what can we begin to do about it?
Malicious-minded ICT users, programmers and even programs (including much AI-powered software) have all been instrumental in recruiting, inspiring, training, executing and amplifying acts of terrorism. This has resulted in the loss of life and/or life-changing physical injuries that could never have occurred without support and facilitation from the cyber sphere. These types of attacks can be encapsulated by the phrase 'cyber terrorism'.
This book recounts case studies to show the types of threats we face and provides a comprehensive coverage of risk management tactics and strategies to protect yourself against such nefarious threat actors. These include key mitigation and controls for information security or security and HR-related professionals.
This book is very practical. It features case studies of successful influencing and persuading in different industries, including the cyber security sector.
It also contains advice, exercises, activities and diagnostics to help you improve your influencing skills.

A must-have for facing the consequential pandemic threat, Robert A. Clark's new book reveals what you should do to mitigate the risk, and limit the damage, while designing contingency measures to address a pandemic crisis.
The book builds on the themes introduced in his 2016 title Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat - Potentially the biggest survival challenge facing organisations, by focusing specifically on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat - Learning from COVID-19 while preparing for the next pandemicCOVID-19 has shown organisations that the threat of a pandemic needs to be taken seriously, emphasising the importance of preparing a business continuity plan and a pandemic plan in response to the crisis. Clark's book focuses on how an organisation can create a new or update an existing pandemic response plan. He highlights the similarities in managing different types of crisis whether it is a pandemic, or other threats such as cyber attacks, floods, fires, civil disturbances, terrorism etc.
The book looks at several case studies, reviewing how different industries have been impacted by the pandemic, with the author also reflecting on his own personal experience during this crisis. It also discusses the ways the virus has affected our economy and daily routines, and the psychological impact. The book further provides useful free resources that offer additional guidance/information.

In his new book, Andrew W Nichols debunks many of the common misconceptions about ISO 9001:2015 and describes the many advantages the standard brings. Drawing on more than 30 years of hands-on experience, he gives clear, practical and up-to-date advice on how to implement a QMS (Quality Management System) to maximum effect.
In September 2015, the much-anticipated sixth version of ISO 9001 was published, and, with it, several myths were given life. Implementations of QMSs, based on the requirements of ISO 9001, have been plagued by misunderstood and misinterpreted requirements, from the earliest version back in 1987. New myths have arrived with the publication of the ISO 9001:2015 edition.
This book exposes many of the myths and enables a better understanding of ISO 9001:2015 by those who seek to create, implement, and improve an effective QMS for their organizationThousands of organizations worldwide are reaping the benefits from adopting the ISO 9001:2015, and implementing an effective QMS, and this book will provide you with the tools to do the same!
Full of real-life examples, this book enables you to read and successfully interpret the ISO 9001:2015 documentation
This book is about cyber security, but it's also about so much more; it's about giving you the skills to think creatively about your role in the cyber security industry.
In Part 1, the author discusses his thoughts on the cyber security industry and how those that operate within it should approach their role with the mindset of an artist.
Part 2 explores the work of Sun Tzu's The Art of War. The author analyses key sections and reviews them through the lens of cyber security and data protection to derive how his teachings can be used within the cyber security industry. Although Tzu's book on military strategy, tactics and operations was written more than 2,000 years ago, The Art of Cyber Security - A practical guide to winning the war on cyber crime reflects on how relevant Tzu's words are for today's technological era.
Receive a different perspective on cyber security, and think differently about the industry and your place within itThis book celebrates the individuals who are striving to protect us in an ever-expanding technological era. Data and technology are so important to our lives, that protecting people who use technology is incredibly important. The professionals working to protect children, adults and corporations have a tough job, and this book celebrates their work while advocating ways for improving cyber security services and fighting cyber crime.
This book will challenge your thinking and force you to approach cyber security and data protection from theoretical, philosophical, strategic, tactical and operational perspectives.
Project managers are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less time and fewer resources. The pace of change is relentless, with technological opportunities far beyond what we imagined a decade ago.
Adopting the Agile methodology helps organisations develop the flexibility and adaptability necessary in such fast-paced environments.Agile can be frightening, as it represents a completely different approach from other project management methodologies that an organisation may be used to, and also changes the project audit and review processes. Using Agile for non-IT projects - such as the introduction of new products, refurbishing retail outlets, and even planning and running audits - means that general auditors and other reviewers, as well as IT specialist auditors are now having to understand Agile practices.
This guide provides an overview of Agile for auditors, reviewers and project teamsThis guide discusses the following:
For experienced auditors and project management teams, this guide demonstrates how they can adapt and reuse audit skills that they may have gained during traditional waterfall, CCTA Risk Analysis and Management Method (CRAMM) or PRINCE2(R) implementation/audits. For those less experienced, it will encourage them to consider some of these good practices and their application to Agile audits.
An ideal introduction to Agile project management for auditors, project managers, Agile teams and students.
