Bookshelf - IT Security Metrics: A Practical Framework for Measuring Security & Protecting Data

Recently read this book (the author Lance Hayden), dedicated to information security metrics, or in other words subjects "measurement" effectiveness of security.

My interest in it was caused by the fact that a book rather flatteringly known western IB-experts (you can see on the site Amazon ), such as Anton Chuvakin , Richard Bejtlich , yes, and the question of "measurement" of safety for me right now is very interesting.

Despite the fact that, in general, I believe this is a good book and worth attention, some chapters of this book I just leafed through. The thing is that the author is widely interprets the term "metrics" (no one forbids it right) and because of this book came out in general what is the mechanism to improve safety through the introduction of mechanisms to review and evaluate certain analytical information.

In addition, there are general chapters devoted to how to organize the company in general project to collect metrics, as enlist the support of management and so on. For me this is nothing new, but someone may be useful, so I do not think this is a big drawback of the book.

by a five-point system, I would give this book a solid four.

PS In general, all who are interested in metrics recommend reading this book now and look here at this Site .
