Tim Rains worked at Microsoft for the better part of two decades where he held a number of roles, including Global Chief Security Advisor, Director of Security, Identity and Enterprise Mobility, Director of Trustworthy Computing, and was a founding technical leader of Microsoft's customer facing Security Incident Response team.
Currently, Tim works at Amazon Web Services as Regional Leader, Security and Compliance Business Acceleration for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Tim lives with his wife Brenda and their two sons Tristan and Liam in London, England.
I'd like to thank my wife Brenda for her encouragement, assistance, and patience, without which this book would not have been written. Yuri Diogenes, thank you for your encouragement. Thank you Dr. ir Johannes Drooghaag for being our Technical Reviewer and to the entire team at Packt.
Dr. ir Johannes Drooghaag is an Executive Consultant, Trainer, Author and Thought Leader for Cybersecurity, Sustainability and Privacy. After 30 years in leading roles at international corporations, Dr. ir Johannes Drooghaag founded his consultancy under his own name, which is based on the Spearhead Management Model he developed.
In his work, he focuses on building bridges between human potential and technological capabilities. This means teaching highly skilled technical leaders the soft skills of leadership and the mindset of leaders and growing the technical savviness of business leaders to be able to make the right decisions about risks and mitigations.
Dr. ir Johannes Drooghaag advocates for kids to be involved in Cybersecurity and Privacy Awareness as early as possible with free programs like Internet Safety for Kids (and their Parents). His workshop Cyber Security for Road Warriors (and Couch Potatoes) focuses on frequent travelers and remote workers and has made thousands of people aware of the cyber risks surrounding them and the steps they can take to avoid becoming a victim.
Imagine you are in a submarine, submerged miles below the surface surrounded by dark, freezing water. The hull of the submarine is under constant immense pressure from all directions. A single mistake in the design, construction or operation of the submarine spells disaster for it and its entire crew.
This is analogous to the challenge Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their teams face today. Their organizations are surrounded on the internet by attackers that are constantly probing for ways to penetrate and compromise their organization's IT infrastructure. The people in their organizations receive wave after wave of social engineering attacks designed to trick them into making poor trust decisions that will undermine the controls that their security teams have implemented. The specters of ransomware and data breaches continue to haunt CISOs, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) of the most sophisticated organizations in the world.
After conducting hundreds of incident response investigations and publishing thousands of pages of threat intelligence, I have had the opportunity to learn from and advise literally thousands of businesses and public sector organizations all over the world. I wrote this book to share some of the insights and lessons I've learned during this extraordinary journey.
The views and opinions expressed in this book are my own and not those of my past or present employers.
This book is for CISOs, aspiring CISOs, senior managers in the office of the CISO, CIOs, CTOs and other roles who have meaningful responsibility for the cybersecurity of their organizations.
Chapter 1, Ingredients for a Successful Cybersecurity Strategy, provides a detailed look at the ingredients that are necessary for a successful cybersecurity program.
Chapter 2, Using Vulnerability Trends to Reduce Risk and Costs, provides a unique 20-year view of vulnerabilities, using vulnerability disclosure data from the National Vulnerability Database. This will help the reader more accurately evaluate the efficacy of cybersecurity strategies discussed in later chapters.
