  • The Cybersecurity Manager's Guide: The Art of Building Your Security Program
    Outlines a seven-step methodology for building an effective InfoSec program by focusing on the "art," or people side, of security. The author, Todd, draws on over two decades of experience to argue that success hinges on cultivating strong relationships and ensuring alignment with the company's risk tolerance, as most organizations are indifferent to information security. The book advocates for the "neighborhood watch" model where security responsibilities are shared across the company, rather than centralized, emphasizing key processes like documentation, governance, security architecture, and communication as vital cornerstones for establishing a security culture. Finally, the text suggests measuring success through simple, relatable metrics like an employee's ability to identify and report phishing emails and policy violations, to demonstrate the program’s return on investment to leadership.

  • Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge Study Guide
    Focusing heavily on the complexities of cloud governance, compliance, and auditing. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), an industry-specific framework developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), which is used to assess security and compliance across various cloud service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. The material systematically addresses the shared responsibility model in cloud computing, emphasizing that while cloud providers (CSPs) manage certain controls, the customer remains ultimately accountable for compliance with legal and regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA. Furthermore, the text outlines methodologies for threat analysis, the importance of continuous assurance and compliance through metrics, and the necessary auditor competency and standards required for effective cloud assessment, including the differences between internal and external auditing.
