Book Description
The motivation for writing this book is to share our knowledge, analyses, and conclusions about cybersecurity in particular and risk management in general to raise awareness among businesses, academics, and the general public about the cyber landscape changes and challenges that are occurring with emerging threats that will affect individual and corporate information security. As a result, we believe that all stakeholders should adopt a unified, coordinated, and organized approach to addressing corporate cybersecurity challenges based on a shared paradigm. There are two levels at which this book can be read. For starters, it can be read by regular individuals with little or no risk management experience. Because of the book's non-technical style, it is appropriate for this readership. The intellectual information may appear daunting at times, but we hope the reader will not be disheartened. One of the book's most notable features is that it is organized in a logical order that guides the reader through the enterprise risk management process, beginning with an introduction to risk management fundamentals and concluding with the strategic considerations that must be made to successfully implement a cyber risk management framework. Another group of readers targeted by this book is practitioners, students, academics, and regulators. We do not anticipate that everyone in this group will agree with the book's content and views. However, we hope that the knowledge and material provided will serve as a basis for them to expand on in their work or endeavors. The book comprises ten chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the theoretical concepts of risk and constructs of enterprise risk management. Chapter 2 presents the corporate risk landscape and cyber risk in terms of the characteristics and challenges of cyber threats vis-à-vis the emerging risks thereof from the perspective of a business organization. Chapter 3 presents the idea of enterprise risk management and explains the structure and functions of enterprise risk management as they relate to cybersecurity. Chapter 4 provides the cybersecurity risk management standards, which may be used to build a cybersecurity risk management framework that is based on best practices. The cyber operational risk management process begins in Chapter 5 with the introduction of the risk identification function. Chapter 6 continues with the next step of this process by presenting the risk assessment procedures for evaluating and prioritizing cyber risks. Chapter 7 explains the activities in the third step in the ORM process of risk mitigation and provides examples of the tools and techniques for addressing risk exposures. Chapter 8 presents a critical function from an operational perspective for its role in detecting risk and continual improvement of the organization's cybersecurity processes through the reporting function. Chapter 9 discusses the crisis management steps that businesses must take to respond to and recover from a cyber incident. Chapter 10 emphasizes the essential ERM components that senior management should be aware of and cultivate to create an effective cyber risk control framework by focusing on the strategic aspects of cybersecurity risk management from a business viewpoint. This chapter proposes a cybersecurity ERM framework based on the content given in this book.

This simple guide explains the big picture of how to assess vulnerabilities and risks and produce actionable policies, that meet external standards and compliance guidelines. It's aimed at anyone who seeks answers to these questions. Without technicalities, it explains the concepts to develop readers' intuitions about the challenges and the threats faced by security planners and reluctant participants.

Assessing and Insuring Cybersecurity Risk
Author: Ravi Das
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000459985
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Remote workforces using VPNs, Cloud-based infrastructure and critical systems, and a proliferation in phishing attacks and fraudulent websites are all raising the level of risk for every company. It all comes down to just one thing that is at stake: how to gauge a company’s level of cyber risk and the tolerance level for this risk. Loosely put, this translates to how much level of uncertainty an organization can tolerate before the uncertainty starts to negatively affect mission critical flows and business processes. Trying to gauge this can be a huge and nebulous task for any IT security team to accomplish. Making this task so difficult are the many frameworks and models that can be utilized. It is very confusing to know which one to utilize in order to achieve a high level of security. Complicating this situation further is that both quantitative and qualitative variables must be taken into consideration and deployed into a cyber risk model. Assessing and Insuring Cybersecurity Risk provides an insight into how to gauge an organization’s particular level of cyber risk, and what would be deemed appropriate for the organization’s risk tolerance. In addition to computing the level of cyber risk, an IT security team has to determine the appropriate controls that are needed to mitigate cyber risk. Also to be considered are the standards and best practices that the IT security team has to implement for complying with such regulations and mandates as CCPA, GDPR, and HIPAA. To help a security team to comprehensively assess an organization’s cyber risk level and how to insure against it, the book covers: The mechanics of cyber risk Risk controls that need to be put into place The issues and benefits of cybersecurity risk insurance policies GDPR, CCPA, and the CMMC Gauging how much cyber risk and uncertainty an organization can tolerate is a complex and complicated task, and this book helps to make it more understandable and manageable.
