IT Goverance and Open University InfoSec course (M886) - Calder and Watkins considers, in an approachable way, the vulnerabilities that will be faced in for- and not-for-profit organisations at a level that is transferable: neither are they too specific in being technology biased, nor are they too generic at the level of vulnerability monitoring. Moreover, Calder and Watkins has four other benefits:* it neatly parallels the structure of the standard,* each vulerability comes with detailed advice on how to implement a control to cover it,* there is useful detail on vulnerabilities uncovered because of the use of the control, and, last bu not least,* there are the trade-offs that arise between covering a vulnerability and leaving it uncovered. These are very good reasons for studying the book and they re why we chose it as the basis for the Open University s new Information Security Management Course Dr Jon G Hall, Lecturer in Information Security, Open University, UK
