A CISO is the ultimate guardian of an organization’s digital assets. As a cybersecurity leader, a CISO must possess a unique balance of executive leadership, technical knowledge, strategic vision, and effective communication skills. The ever-evolving cyberthreat landscape demands a resilient, proactive approach coupled with a keen ability to anticipate attack angles and implement protective security mechanisms. Simultaneously, a cybersecurity leader must navigate the complexities of balancing security requirements with business objectives, fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks. The CISO Playbook aims to provide nothing but real-world advice and perspectives to both up-and-coming cybersecurity leaders as well as existing ones looking to grow. The book does not approach cybersecurity leadership from the perspective of the academic, or what it should be, but more from that which it really is. Moreover, it focuses on the many things a cybersecurity leader needs to “be” given that the role is dynamic and ever-evolving, requiring a high level of adaptability. A CISO’s career is touched from many differing angles, by many different people and roles. A healthy selection of these entities, from executive recruiters to salespeople to venture capitalists, is included to provide real-world value to the reader. To augment these, the book covers many areas that a cybersecurity leader needs to understand – from the pre-interview stage to the first quarter and from security operations to the softer skills such as storytelling and communications.

A comprehensive and practical framework for ethical practices in contemporary cybersecurity. While some professions – including medicine, law, and engineering – have wholeheartedly embraced wide-ranging codes of ethics and conduct, the field of cybersecurity continues to lack an overarching ethical standard. This vacuum constitutes a significant threat to the safety of consumers and businesses around the world, slows commerce, and delays innovation. The Code of Honor: Embracing Ethics in Cybersecurity delivers a first of its kind comprehensive discussion of the ethical challenges that face contemporary information security workers, managers, and executives. Authors Ed Skoudis, President of the SANS Technology Institute College and founder of the Counter Hack team, and Dr. Paul Maurer, President of Montreat College, explain how timeless ethical wisdom gives birth to the Cybersecurity Code which is currently being adopted by security practitioners and leaders around the world. This practical book tells numerous engaging stories that highlight ethically complex situations many cybersecurity and tech professionals commonly encounter. It also contains compelling real-world case studies – called Critical Applications – at the end of each chapter that help the reader determine how to apply the hands-on skills described in the book. Perfect for security leaders, operations center analysts, incident responders, threat hunters, forensics personnel, and penetration testers, The Code of Honor is an up-to-date and engaging read about the ethically challenging world of modern cybersecurity that will earn a place in the libraries of aspiring and practicing professionals and leaders who deal with tech every day.

The aim of this book is to explore the definitions and fundamentals of offensive security versus defensive security and describe the different tools and technologies for protecting against cyber threats. The book offers strategies of practical aspects of cybersecurity, covers the main disciplines needed to understand cybersecurity, and demonstrates ethical and legal concepts of cyber activities. It presents important concepts relevant for cybersecurity strategies, including the concept of cybercrime, cyber defense, protection of IT systems, and analysis of risks. In cybersecurity, strategies are broadly divided into two categories: offensive and defensive. While both approaches are vital, they offer different perspectives on protecting, detecting, and responding to threats. The key is employing the right strategy at the right time in order to protect against attackers, maintain business continuity in the face of cyberattacks, optimize resources, and adhere to regulatory compliance. Offensive cybersecurity, commonly called “OffSec,” focuses on actively seeking out systems’ vulnerabilities, flaws, and weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. The premise behind OffSec is simple: to best defend oneself, one must think and act like an attacker. This proactive approach includes strategies like penetration testing (or pentesting), red teaming, phishing simulations, and vulnerability assessments. While offensive cybersecurity aims to identify vulnerabilities by actively simulating cyberattacks, defensive cybersecurity, or “DefSec,” focuses on building and maintaining resilient systems that can prevent, detect, and respond to threats as they arise. This approach emphasizes layers of protection, including firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and incident response teams.
