Visible Ops Security: Achieving Common Security and IT Operations Objectives in 4 Practical Steps
This is an excellent guide to building a successful IT infrastructure from a security perspective. The authors have masterfully articulated the methodologies used successfully by many of us in security and risk management and I can personally validate their findings. The four phases outlined here provide the framework to stabilize, secure, manage, and improve the security of your IT infrastructure. --Peter Perfetti, Director, IT Security and Risk ManagementThe book examines what IT security organizations do well and their common struggles. A must read for those in security and audit who seek improvement, but also important and informative for those who work closely with security in business processes, accounting, auditing, development, and operations. The authors understand the problems that keep many IT security organizations from reaching effectiveness or potential, and disarm perceptions that hold these organizations back by offering clear steps to move out of the trenches to the top of their games. --James Bohem, CISSP, Enterprise Security Solutions Architect, MIS Systems IntegratorsAs an auditor and an IT practitioner, I have repeatedly seen solution-oriented behaviors transform technologists into business partners. Visible Ops Security provides a realistic approach to converting information security from a technical function into a business function. --A.J. Schwab, Senior IT Audit Manager
