David Sutton's career in IT spans nearly 50 years and includes voice and data networking, information security and critical information infrastructure protection. He has delivered lectures on information risk management and business continuity at Royal Holloway University of London from where he holds an MSc in Information Security. He is also the author of Information Risk Management and a co-author of Information Security Management Principles (2nd edition).'The BCS Cyber Security book is well written and easy to read, which is unusual in a book addressing this subject matter.
The author takes the time to describe his interpretation of “Cyber” as this term is often misused both within and outside the industry.
The book makes many references to real world examples and their consequences. This helps to illuminate the threats and vulnerabilities and helps us understand the possible actions that should be taken.
The book is well structured with two major sections; Cyber Security Problems - encompassing Cyber Security Issues, Targets, Vulnerabilities, Threats and Impacts and Improving Cyber Security - encompassing Risk Management, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and risk mitigations. The final part of the book is a comprehensive analysis of applicable standards, good practice guidelines and the law.
This practitioners guide is a must have for those with an interest in information security, either as a potential career or to expand their general business knowledge. Highly recommended!'
- Terry Neal, CEO, FBCS, CITP
