I would check out books on the following topics: - forensics management and IT forensics investigation - intrusion detection/prevention management - some practical coding (shell scripting and basic language coding) - risk management (includes conducting assessments with analysis) - project management - critical infrastructure protection - homeland security (not necessarily CIP, but ties into it) - emergency management and preparedness - bioterrorism and biosecurity (general) - network security (routers, switches, et. al) - information security and policy management - disaster recovery planning (DRP, general) - business continuity planning (BCP, now called "COOP", also general) - antivirus protection - ID theft and protection - spam protection and email security - policy documentation - IT governance (ISO 17799, COBIT, FIPS, FISMA, HSPD-12, et. al) There are TONS of good books out there, even as aged as they are, are timeless as they offer a good *base* and fundamental understanding on "what is 'security'". The list is too large to mention here. -rad At Fri, 6 Jan 2006 12:09:30 -0500, you wrote:
A client of mine asked me for recommendations on books or literature that provide a solid foundation to information security, from a (non-technical) management point of view. I'm mostly used to material that approaches it from a computer security point of view, and so I'd like to get opinions from people who are more familiar with the non-technical literature than I am. Suggestions? Recommendations?
