This textbook places cyber security management within an organizational and strategic framework, enabling students to develop their knowledge and skills for a future career. The reader will learn to:

• evaluate different types of cyber risk

• carry out a threat analysis and place cyber threats in order of severity

• formulate appropriate cyber security management policy

• establish an organization-specific intelligence framework and security culture

• devise and implement a cyber security awareness programme

• integrate cyber security within an organization’s operating system

Learning objectives, chapter summaries and further reading in each chapter provide structure and routes to further in-depth research. Firm theoretical grounding is coupled with short problem-based case studies reflecting a range of organizations and perspectives, illustrating how the theory translates to practice, with each case study followed by a set of questions to encourage understanding and analysis. Non-technical and comprehensive, this textbook shows final year undergraduate students and postgraduate students of Cyber Security Management, as well as reflective practitioners, how to adopt a pro-active approach to the management of cyber security. Online resources include PowerPoint slides, an instructor’s manual and a test bank of questions.

Within the organization, the cyber security manager fulfils an important and policy-oriented role. Working alongside the risk manager, the Information Technology (IT) manager, the security manager and others, the cyber security manager’s role is to ensure that intelligence and security manifest in a robust cyber security awareness programme and set of security initiatives that when implemented help strengthen the organization’s defences and those also of its supply chain partners.

Cyber Security Management and Strategic Intelligence emphasizes the ways in which intelligence work can be enhanced and utilized, guiding the reader on how to deal with a range of cyber threats and strategic issues. Throughout the book, the role of the cyber security manager is central, and the work undertaken is placed in context with that undertaken by other important staff, all of whom deal with aspects of risk and need to coordinate the organization’s defences thus ensuring that a collectivist approach to cyber security management materializes. Real-world examples and cases highlight the nature and form that cyber-attacks may take, and reference to the growing complexity of the situation is made clear. In addition, various initiatives are outlined that can be developed further to make the organization less vulnerable to attack. Drawing on theory and practice, the authors outline proactive, and collectivist approaches to counteracting cyber-attacks that will enable organizations to put in place more resilient cyber security management systems, frameworks and planning processes.

Cyber Security Management and Strategic Intelligence references the policies, systems and procedures that will enable advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and reflective practitioners to understand the complexity associated with cyber security management and apply a strategic intelligence perspective. It will help the cyber security manager to promote cyber security awareness to a number of stakeholders and turn cyber security management initiatives into actionable policies of a proactive nature.
