商品描述
"CISO: Evolution of a Vocation" comprises three levels. The first level shares the author's personal journey, beginning as a homeless college dropout and culminating in over thirty years of service as a CISO and CISO-equivalent roles at some of America's most iconic companies and organizations. Drawing on experience and discipline gained from military contracting work; the author maintained a letter log system to manage the commitments and issues he faced. He also kept digital copies of over 1,000 memorandums issued during his later CISO roles. Through excerpts from selected memos, readers gain an unprecedented view into the cybersecurity challenges he confronted as CISO. Each chapter includes "Lessons Learned," providing readers with the benefits of the author's life lessons and cybersecurity experiences. Where warranted, the author recognizes his "All Star" team members whom he had the privilege of working with.
In addition to his personal journey, the book also explores the history of major technology advancements and significant security events occurring from 1971 through 2017. This provides valuable context for understanding how the landscape of cybersecurity has evolved over the decades. Building on these experiences, the book examines the evolution of the CISO role itself. Readers follow the progression from the role's early inception to its current status as a true business leadership position. Each level makes the book accessible and engaging for both general readers and professionals.

《CISO: 職業的演變》包含三個層面。第一個層面分享了作者的個人旅程，從一名無家可歸的大學退學生開始，最終在美國一些最具代表性的公司和組織中擔任超過三十年的CISO及相當於CISO的角色。作者借助於從軍事承包工作中獲得的經驗和紀律，維持了一個信件日誌系統來管理他所面臨的承諾和問題。他還保留了在後期CISO角色中發出的超過1,000份備忘錄的數位副本。透過選定備忘錄的摘錄，讀者可以前所未有地了解他作為CISO所面對的網絡安全挑戰。每一章節都包含「經驗教訓」，為讀者提供作者的生活教訓和網絡安全經驗的好處。在適當的情況下，作者也會提到他有幸與之共事的「全明星」團隊成員。
除了個人旅程外，本書還探討了從1971年到2017年期間主要技術進步和重要安全事件的歷史。這為理解網絡安全在幾十年來的演變提供了寶貴的背景。基於這些經驗，本書檢視了CISO角色本身的演變。讀者將跟隨這一角色從早期的起源到如今作為真正商業領導職位的進展。每個層面使本書對一般讀者和專業人士都變得易於接觸和引人入勝。
