A comprehensive guide to managing an information security incident Even when
organisations take precautions, they may still be at risk of a data breach.
Information security incidents do not just affect small businesses; major
companies and government departments suffer from them as well. Managing
Information Security Breaches sets out a strategic framework for handling
this kind of emergency. It focuses on the treatment of severe breaches and on
how to re-establish safety and security once the breach has occurred. These
recommendations support the controls for the treatment of breaches specified
under ISO27001:2005. The author uses cases he has investigated to illustrate
the various causes of a breach, ranging from the chance theft of a laptop at
an airport to more systematic forms of data theft by criminal networks or for
purposes of industrial espionage. These cases studies enable an in-depth
analysis of the situations companies face in real life, and contain valuable
lessons your organisation can learn from when putting in place appropriate
measures to prevent a breach. The actions you take in response to a data
breach can have a significant impact on your company's future. Michael Krausz
explains what your top priorities should be the moment you realise a breach
has occurred, making this book essential reading for IT managers and chief
security officers.
