Book Reviews of Visible Ops Security: Achieving Common Security and IT Operations Objectives in 4 Practical Steps
Book Review: More good stuff from the Visibe Ops guys
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first got into the world of IT Service Management, the Visible Ops Handbook distilled the important information and delivered something that was missing from the official ITIL literature...how to execute. What I found in the accessible pages of the Visible Ops Handbook was how to justify and start a service management initiative. The beauty of the rationale in Visible Ops lies in the fact that it contains not only wisdom but a believable recipe for success. Visible Ops Security does much the same for information security. The book focuses on pre-production activities where the costs are lower.
Visible Ops Security helps the IT organization understand how to figure out what is important and how to gain a measure of control by developing relationships with key elements of the business and IT organization. Most IT organizations understand that they own a measure of risk due to regulatory requirements, potential loss of brand reputation and the often adversarial relationship between information security and the rest of the IT organization...they just don't know how to quantify or mitigate it. Visible Ops Security shows where to start.
Summary of Visible Ops Security: Achieving Common Security and IT Operations Objectives in 4 Practical Steps
Visible Ops Security builds upon the methodology presented in the original Visible Ops Handbook. It guides information security professionals in strengthening relationships with IT operations and development groups to advance IT objectives and business goals. It addresses the people side of IT, empowering security to work with operations teams to achieve closely aligned objectives and with development and release teams to integrate security requirements into preproduction work. The Visible Ops Security methodology helps IT organizations move beyond a focus on technology to address the core operational aspects of security. It complements publications that focus on securing the network, access, and data, including COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology), ISO 27001:2005 (International Standards Organization), and ITIL?? (IT Infrastructure Library) manuals. It promotes effective teamwork, which helps security professionals ensure that security is built into key development and production processes. This effort positions the IT organization to meet business needs by delivering highly available, cost-effective, and secure services.General Books
