Information Security For Realists: Getting Started with Your Eyes Wide Open
Insiders agree. Recent informal surveys, working with management at large and small companies, and numerous consulting engagements all point to the same conclusions.
Management Is Not Motivated. This is a blunt statement but it reflects the low priority that C-level management gives to information security at most companies. Immediately following a data breach, the level of attention and expenditures often increases.
Nobody Understands. With few exceptions, staff and management have very little idea what Information Security really means, as most regard data security as strictly an IT responsibility.
Fear Drives Cybersecurity. Big money is being spent on high-profile security services, while cost-effective measures are available which won't disrupt your daily operations. There really is a better way. Reduce your budget, simplify your data security, and manage everything in one place.

Just what the Individual or SMB/SOHO needs.
I like it. I've recommended the same since 1996 when systems administration was added to my programming tasks. Keep It Simple.
