Rezensionen

"Building an effective security program is a daunting task...for those looking for an effective resource in which to start or jumpstart their program; Building a Corporate Culture of Security: Strategies for Strengthening Organizational Resiliency is a book that will certainly help them immensely." --RSAConference.com

"The basic premise is that too many C-suite residents still consider security as a "cost-center." Sullivant identifies approaches like creating and using valuable metrics to make a convincing case for a program." --Security Letter

"Seasoned security managers, as well as C-suite executives seeking to effect positive change, can use this book to further professional development, and professors will find it to be an excellent teaching tool. At the outset of a career, knowing and applying the strategies discussed within can save a security manager a lot of time and headaches in working with organizations. There is little doubt that this book will become a valuable resource for security professionals now and in the future."--Security Management
