This guide is designed as a companion piece to the authors' CISO Handbook, allowing CISOs to integrate risk management and security policies with underlying employee attitudes that can compromise organizations. Collette and M. Gentile are both CISSPs and security consultants, and they team with S. Gentile (communications studies, Cabrillo College) to discuss security constraints such as employee apathy, myopia and primacy as well as the infancy of information security disciplines to explain what types of tools and exercises can reduce or eliminate these obstacles. The authors provide step-by-step instructions on how to secure these work environments, and appendices include specific action plans for addressing each type of security constraint.
