Resilient Thinking – Protecting Organisations in the 21st Century, Second editionSince the release of the first edition in 2012, a lot has changed in the world of risk and organisational resilience. Global conflict, political realignments, environmental disruptions, pandemics and disease outbreaks and cyber attacks are a plethora of threats that have and will continue to endanger the stability of the world. Alongside these risks and issues, technological and societal change is ushering in a new age of opportunity and progress.What can organisations and individuals do to prepare for an unexpected future?To prepare for the unexpected future, organisations need to be resilient, and this requires:Understanding the current, emerging and future environments and contexts;People who are knowledgeable, confident and capable in building and maintaining resilience in the organisation and themselves; andA sensible approach to the use of guidance, frameworks and initiative.Phil Wood’s much expanded and updated second edition explores, develops and enhances the concepts discussed in his previous book in granular detail, analysing our understanding of where we have been, where we are now, and where we should be going to develop resilient organisations.

Cyber Essentials – A guide to Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certificationsCyber attacks are a fact of life in the information age. For any organisation that connects to the Internet, the issue is not if an attack will come, but when. Most cyber attacks are performed by relatively unskilled criminals using tools available online. These attacks are often opportunistic: looking for easy targets rather than rich pickings.The Cyber Essentials scheme is a UK government-backed effort to encourage UK-based organisations to improve their cyber security by adopting measures (called controls) that defend against common, less-sophisticated cyber attacks. The scheme recommends practical defences that should be within the capability of any organisation.The Cyber Essentials scheme has two levels:The basic Cyber Essentials; andCyber Essentials Plus.This first part of this book will examine the various threats that are most significant in the modern digital environment, their targets and their impacts. It will help you to understand whether your organisation is ready for Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification.The second part of the book presents a selection of additional resources that are available to help you implement the controls or become certified.

We live in a world where technology and vast quantities of data play a considerable role in everyday life, both personal and professional.For the foreseeable future (and perhaps beyond), the growth and prominence of data in business shows no signs of slowing down, even if the technology in question will likely change in ways perhaps unimaginable today. Naturally, all this innovation brings huge opportunities and benefits to organisations and people alike. However, these come at more than just a financial cost.In the world as we know it, you can be attacked both physically and virtually. For today’s organisations, which rely so heavily on technology – particularly the Internet – to do business, the latter attack is the far more threatening of the two. The cyber threat landscape is complex and constantly changing. For every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation. Worse, when a vulnerability is identified, a tool that can exploit it is often developed and used within hours – faster than the time it normally takes for the vendor to release a patch, and certainly quicker than the time many organisations take to install that patch.This book has been divided into two parts:Part 1: Security principles.Part 2: Reference controls.Part 1 is designed to give you a concise but solid grounding in the principles of good security, covering key terms, risk management, different aspects of security, defence in depth, implementation tips, and more. This part is best read from beginning to end.Part 2 is intended as a useful reference, discussing a wide range of good-practice controls (in alphabetical order) you may want to consider implementing. Each control is discussed at a high level, focusing on the broader principles, concepts and points to consider, rather than specific solutions. Each control has also been written as a stand-alone chapter, so you can just read the controls that interest you, in an order that suits you.

In this updated edition, the security threat landscape has widened and the challenge for CISOs to be more than just security coordinators has become a mandate for organizational survival.

ISO 27001/ISO 27002 – A guide to information security management systemsISO 27001 is one of the leading information security standards. It offers an internationally recognised route for organisations of all sizes and industries to adopt and demonstrate effective, independently verified information security.Information is the lifeblood of the modern world. It is at the heart of our personal and working lives, yet all too often control of that information is in the hands of organisations, not individuals. As a result, there is ever-increasing pressure on those organisations to ensure the information they hold is adequately protected.Demonstrating that an organisation is a responsible custodian of information is not simply a matter of complying with the law – it has become a defining factor in an organisation’s success or failure. The negative publicity and loss of trust associated with data breaches and cyber attacks can seriously impact customer retention and future business opportunities, while an increasing number of tender opportunities are only open to those with independently certified information security measures.Understand how information security standards can improve your organisation’s security and set it apart from competitors with this introduction to the 2022 updates of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002.

If the goal of an Agile project is to deliver the highest business value solution possible, why is the business user the least supported member of the Agile team? It's good to be an Agile developer. The Agile community provides Agile developers with countless supporting resources including books, websites, forums, and conferences where Agile development issues can be raised, discussed, and jointly addressed by the group. The interesting thing is that, where Agile approaches go to great lengths to provide developers with the foundation they need to deliver high-value software solutions, there is relatively little equivalent support provided for the business users. In most Agile methods, the business user is solely responsible for the identification, requirements gathering, clarification, and assignment of priorities for their requested system capabilities. Agile development teams rely on business users having sufficient knowledge, vision, objectivity, and time to ensure that these capabilities provide the best possible solution.The Power of the Agile Business Analyst: 30 surprising ways a business analyst can add value to your Agile development team challenges whether Agile projects are truly positioned to deliver the highest-value business solutions without offering business users the equivalent level of support, validation, and collaboration that is provided for the Agile development team. To address this challenge, The Power of the Agile Business Analyst proposes including an Agile business analyst on the development team to provide business users with the support they need, as well as a valuable resource to assist the Agile developers in their analysis, design, testing, and implementation work throughout the project. 30 ways an Agile Business Analyst can help your team Drawing on more than 20 years' experience as a senior business analyst and international solutions consultant, Jamie Lynn Cooke details 30 achievable ways in which Agile business analysts can increase the relevance, quality, and overall business value of your Agile projects. Read this book and learn how to: *Maximize the business value of your Agile solutions.*Leverage the skills, experience, and opportunities an Agile business analyst can bring to your project. *Find the most qualified Agile business analyst to complement your team. *Identify how an Agile business analyst can help you address the most critical challenges on your Agile project. *Use the strengths of an Agile business analyst to position your projects for ongoing funding and executive support. The Power of the Agile Business Analyst also provides guidance for business analysts who want to transition their skills to work most effectively in Agile environments. Bridge the gap between the business users and the Agile development team The Power of the Agile Business Analyst explains how having a skilled business analyst on the Agile team provides business users with peer support for their most critical business requirements, and provides the Agile development team with a business-knowledgeable resource who is available to work hands-on with them throughout the project. These are only some of the ways in which Agile business analysts empower development teams to deliver the most successful Agile solutions.Read this book and discover how an Agile business analyst can significantly increase the value of your solution.
