The Secret Life of Security is a common sense and frequently irreverent look at the role information security plays in popular and business culture. Not infosec for dummies, this is infosec for professionals in the field as well as those who need to understand exactly what life is like on the front lines of infosec. This book is for anyone who needs to protect themselves and their businesses from a seemingly endless list of new cyber threats. By providing true-life tales from the front lines, author Sarah Clarke helps both infosec professionals and business managers understand what they face to keep information safe, and how to better communicate and understand each other -- an antidote for the often deafening media, marketing and technical noise.
