5.0 out of 5 stars Super Ideas For Business Continuity Planner As Well As ISSO!, 2 Nov 1998

By A Customer

I have found the Information Systems Security Officer's Guide by Dr. Gerald Kovacich provides many gems of wisdom, not only valuable to me as a former ISSO, but also in my role as a business continuity planning (BCP) professional. For example, I've struggled with how to facilitate BCP communication and interaction among our mission-critical organizations. Making the BCP charter consistent with the company's Strategic, Tactical and Annual Plans, as Dr. Kovacich suggested, has provided the needed common thread of BCP motivation for rapid deployment. Most importantly from a personal perspective, the idea of the ISSO Portfolio in the chapter titled "How to Market Yourself as an ISSO" is worth its weight in gold! By following Dr. Kovacich's advice, I was able to effectively compete for and win my current global BCP management job.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last - practical guidelines about a InfoSec program!, 2 Sep 1998

By A Customer

Having both a law enforcement and private sector background, I appreciated the premise of Dr. Kovacich's book as it related to the Information Security Officer's duties and challenges. His approach will enable the reader to better understand the corporate environment concerning, not only the management process involved in protecting information, but also the importance of communicating and interacting with the organization in a way that people feel motivated to develop and maintain a successful and effective InfoSec program. The book discusses important management tenets and procedures which demonstrates the authors insight and experience in dealing with "real world " InfoSec issues. This book is easy reading and provides a clear understanding of the information security functions by taking the reader through the business and management environment and at the same time stressing a very important point that is often overlooked, i.e., an awareness and expectation that change is constant. I've recommended this book to those who are currently in the information security business and anyone who is attempting to pursue a career in this field. This book would be an ideal supplement to a variety of college courses and/or seminars pertaining to business and information technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice from someone who has been there & done it!, 20 Jun 1998

By A Customer

Dr. Kovacich has created a very practical, nuts and bolts volume that will guide both new and experienced information security practitioners in creating and managing effective security programs. One of the best features of the book is that it is "technology independent" and focuses primarily on the business and organizational elements that lead to succcess in the difficult role of safeguarding the organization's information assets. Highly recommended for the corporate security director who is faced with the challenge of devising an information security program for the enterprise. Will also help auditors benchmark their organization's exisiting program against easily understood "best practices".
