Chapter 4: Simplify and Rationalize IT and Security Argues that security leaders have a stake in developing an effective IT strategy, what that strategy might look like, and how security leaders - who don't own IT - can still engage IT functions to help develop and deliver on the strategy. Chapter 5: Manage Risk in the Language of BusinessClarifies why risk management literally must be the brains of the security program.
