You CAN Stop Stupid

Viac o knihe

"Around the world, users cost organizations billions of dollars due to simple errors and malicious actions. They believe that there is some deficiency in the users. In response, organizations believe that they have to improve their awareness efforts and making more secure users. This is like saying that coalmines should get healthier canaries. The reality is that it takes a multilayered approach that acknowledges that users will inevitably make mistakes or have malicious intent, and the failure is in not planning for that. It takes a holistic approach to assessing risk combined with technical defenses and countermeasures layered with a security culture and continuous improvement. Only with this kind of defense in depth can organizations hope to prevent the worst of the cybersecurity breaches and other user-initiated losses. Using lessons from tested and proven disciplines like counterterrorism, safety science, process control, quality management, and more, Ira Winkler and Dr. Tracy Celaya Brown's You CAN Stop Stupid provides business technology and security professionals a methodology to analyze potential losses and determine how to proactively mitigate losses attributed to user stupidity. Learn why it isn't the users who are stupid, because it is you who stops stupid." -- Back cover
