Diese Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der konsistenten und effizienten Ausgestaltung eines Risikomanagementsystems, das geeignet ist die Auswirkungen der Ungewissheit in betriebswirtschaftlichen Entscheidungssituationen besser zu verstehen und Strategien für eine aktive Steuerung von Risikosituationen zu liefern. Neben einer umfassenden Diskussion des Risikophänomens und neuerer Verfahren der Risikomessung bildet die Analyse von Mehrstufigkeit und Interdependenz von Risikoentstehungsprozessen in Industriebetrieben den Kern der Arbeit. Diese münden in das Konzept eines Risikoinformations- und -steuerungssystems, das als Teil der Unternehmensplanung neben den erfolgs- auch die risikomäßigen Konsequenzen von Entscheidungen beleuchtet. Die Steuerung der Risikoübernahme im Verhältnis zur Risikotragfähigkeit ist dabei ein wichtiges Anwendungsfeld um Unternehmen krisenresistenter zu machen.

Security practitioners must be able to build cost-effective security programs while also complying with government regulations. Information Security Governance Simplified: From the Boardroom to the Keyboard lays out these regulations in simple terms and explains how to use control frameworks to build an air-tight information security (IS) program and governance structure. Defining the leadership skills required by IS officers, the book examines the pros and cons of different reporting structures and highlights the various control frameworks available. It details the functions of the security department and considers the control areas, including physical, network, application, business continuity/disaster recover, and identity management. Todd Fitzgerald explains how to establish a solid foundation for building your security program and shares time-tested insights about what works and what doesn’t when building an IS program. Highlighting security considerations for managerial, technical, and operational controls, it provides helpful tips for selling your program to management. It also includes tools to help you create a workable IS charter and your own IS policies. Based on proven experience rather than theory, the book gives you the tools and real-world insight needed to secure your information while ensuring compliance with government regulations.

Software has been around since the 1940s. Which means that people have been faking their way through meetings about software, and the code that builds it, for generations. Now that software lives in our pockets, runs our cars and homes, and dominates our waking lives, ignorance is no longer acceptable. The world belongs to people who code. Those who don’t understand will be left behind.

This issue of Business Week comprises a single story devoted to ­demystifying code and the culture of the people who make it. There’s some technical language along with a few pretty basic mathematical concepts. There are also lots of solid jokes and lasting insights. It may take a few hours to read, but that’s a small price to pay for adding decades to your career.
