Security Leader Insights for Risk Management

How do you, as a busy security executive or manager, stay current with evolving issues, familiarize yourself with the successful practices of your peers, and transfer this information to build a knowledgeable, skilled workforce the times now demand?

This book can be used as a quick and effective resource to bring your security staff up to speed on security’s role in risk management.
