Secure IT Up!: Cyber Insurance Due Diligence

Alberto Partida's first book, "itsecuriteers", published in 2010, revealed HOW to create an Information Security team that enables business objectives. "Secure 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. In the world we live in, risk management and information risk management are complex fields under continuous development. If you need to justify why applying security to your organisation will provide value to your customers or you are involved in cyber insurance due diligence engagements, "Secure it up!" helps you with a statistically sound quantitative study and a set of reputable literature references. "The recommendations in this book are simple but effective: managers will find them of practical relevance and easy to communicate. They are based on 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 results of surveys of subject matter experts to make his argument for combining Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) with information security practices."
