Sinopse:
Most executives think information security means buying the right firewall. This book is written specifically to correct that misunderstanding: the author opens with a Knowledge Checkpoint chapter that forces consolidation of every concept before the reader moves forward, a structural choice that signals this is a framework for decision-making, not a catalog of technologies. The core of the book is a six-barrier defense model that sequences protection from discouragement through detection and diagnosis, paired with a risk equation and a corporate information security committee structure. Chapters cover the information lifecycle in four moments (handling, storage, transport, disposal), the role of the Security Officer, business continuity planning with hot and warm site strategies, and a full ISO 27002 compliance chapter with a scored testing instrument. A final chapter addresses cloud, BYOD, and social media as the new perimeter. Originally a bestselling title in the Brazilian market, this English translation adds a foreword from UFRJ information security specialists. The book gives executives and senior managers the vocabulary and the governance structures to lead security decisions rather than delegate them entirely to technical teams. Readers leave with a defensible framework for risk, not just a checklist.
