Reduce your information risks with this book, 20 Aug 2008
By G. Choo "Information assurance evangelist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments (Hardcover)
I manage information risks for a large organization on a professional basis and this is one of the best books I have read on this important topic. What I found most useful about this book is that it complements rather than competes with formal risk management methods. This book explains techniques and methods that you can use to enhance your existing risk assessment process like data gathering, impact analysis, evaluations and so on. This book should belong on every risk managers bookshelf.

A Great Way to Learn about Threat Risk Analysis, 25 Mar 2008
By Red - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments (Hardcover)
I am taking a class on Threat Risk Assessment and one of our main references is Douglas Landoll's "The Security Risk Assessment Handbook". The great thing about this book is that it takes what would normally be extremely dry material and makes it interesting. The book has a conversational tone which is easy to read, and yet still manages to be very informative. A great tool for anyone who wants to learn about security assessments.

A must resource in a CISO's library, 30 Mar 2010
By Daniel Nunez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Security Risk Assessment Handbook: A Complete Guide for Performing Security Risk Assessments (Hardcover)
Dear Mr. Doug Landoll,
I have to give you Kudo's on your book. I just bought it and its awesome!!!! There is a section that is so well written regarding the reporting structure of security and how successful the program will be based on InfoSec placement and support. I've never seen it written so well before. Your book will be a career long reference. I hope you write more books.
Take care,
Daniel Nunez, CISSP, CISM
