The Business Case For Network Security.

Security issues are top of mind for both executive and IT management. With the advent of internal controls regulations in both Canada and the U.S., there is a pressing need for senior executives to clearly understand network security fundamentals. The Business Case For Network Security: Advocacy, governance and ROI carefully delineates these.

The book sets out to make technology accessible for non-technical senior managers, using a top-level overview of attacks, mitigation, and best practices. The book also delivers security risk assessment tools, along with security-specific financial processes that IT management can use to develop comprehensive and measurable return-on-security business models. The book also introduces and explores the concept of return on prevention (ROP) and discusses the implications of this for corporations.
