CISO DRG Publishing Information

The CISO Desk Reference Guide® is a collection of books written for current and aspiring information security leaders and practitioners. Every book in our catalog is written by practitioners with hands-on experience in their respective domains. The books are divided into four series. The Foundation Series consists of the original two-volume set, The CISO Desk Reference Guide® Volumes 1 & 2, along with two books under development. Coming in December, the Executive Primer intended for senior leadership and board members who need a foundational understanding of the CISO’s role and the disciplines within information security. In 2022 we’ll publish a set of case studies that examine what went wrong in some of the highest profile breaches, and how we can change to be more secure. Volumes 1 and 2 of The CISO Desk Reference Guide® describe the CISO’s role in-depth and were inducted into the Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame in June 2020. The Practitioner Series is intended for practitioners who need to understand critical processes at an in-depth level. There are several titles under development and details will be published as timeframes firm up. The Governance Series will address topics crucial for understanding and demonstrating the reliability of the program as required by external parties. This includes reference guides for privacy professionals, vendor management, and security compliance. Our data privacy reference is scheduled for publication in Q1 of 2022. The Small Business Series provides material essential for leaders without the resources of larger companies who still have valuable businesses to protect. Titles published so far include The Essential Guide to Cybersecurity for SMBs, Creating a Small Business Cybersecurity Program, and for very small businesses. Bring Your Own Cyber: A Small Business Owner’s Guide to Basic Network Security.
