Description
Security and first-person shooter video games have one obvious thing in common: if you’re not continuously moving, you’re dead. In this second edition of Managing Risk and Information Security, Malcolm Harkins helps us move our thinking into areas of risk that have become more prominent over the last several years.
Because there is so much new content in this edition, I will focus on a topic that has risen to greater prominence since the first edition: people are the perimeter. When we reflect on what has changed in recent years, with an eye to the vulnerabilities that result in real-world compromises, a pattern emerges: virtually all the major breaches that we have seen involve manipulation of people. When nearly everyone has heard of phishing, we have to ask ourselves: why is it still such an effective tool?
