The Security Playbook
8 Secrets & 12 Steps to Systematically Achieve Security Excellence
Organizations rely on their IT leaders more than ever to deliver the transformation and innovation needed to thrive in today’s ever-evolving tech landscape – but IT teams are often stuck in firefighting mode and held back by immature processes. Info-Tech’s revolutionary and road-tested IT Playbooks offer a systematic and interconnected improvement program to unleash IT’s potential to drive their organization’s success.
CISOs have the toughest job in IT – and as more advanced threat actors launch more frequent and harmful attacks, it’s only going to get tougher. Info-Tech’s Security Playbook provides a framework for protecting digital assets through risk management, threat detection, and incident response. Use the playbook to build a proactive security posture with clear policies, controls, and user awareness, to safeguard your organization and respond effectively to threats.
