Developing Cybersecurity Programs and Policies is a complete guide to establishing a cyber security program and governance in your organization. In this book, you will learn how to create cyber security policies, standards, procedures, guidelines, and plans-and the differences among them. You will also learn how threat actors are launching attacks against their victims-compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and networks.
