Quotes by Mike Chapple (?)

“the new server is deployed to replace the previous one. Once the new server is validated, the older server is decommissioned. VMs are destroyed and the physical hardware/system is reused for future deployments.”
― Mike Chapple, ISC2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide

“responsibilities and then use annual refresher training to cover the same material and update users on new threats and controls. The team responsible for providing security training should review materials on a regular basis to ensure that the content remains relevant. Changes in the security landscape and the organization's business may require updating the material to remain fresh and relevant.”
― Mike Chapple, CISM Certified Information Security Manager Study Guide

“Security is essential because it helps to ensure that an organization can continue to exist and operate despite any attempts to steal its data or compromise its physical or logical elements. Security is an element of business management rather than only an IT concern.”
