Palo Alto Networks' Expands the "Cybersecurity Canon"

Palo Alto Networks created the cyber security canon “to identify a list of must-read books for all cybersecurity practitioners -- be they from industry, government or academia -- where the content is timeless, genuinely represents an aspect of the community that is true and precise, reflects the highest quality and, if not read, will leave a hole in the cybersecurity professional’s education that will make the practitioner incomplete.” Since 2001, the CERT Insider Threat Center has collected and analyzed information about hundreds of insider cybercrimes, ranging from national security espionage to theft of trade secrets. The CERT Guide to Insider Threats describes CERT's findings in practical terms, offering specific guidance and countermeasures that can be immediately applied by executives, managers, security officers, and operational staff within any private, government, or military organization. “What makes the book valuable is that it is backed up with real data,” noted Palo Alto Networks’ Chief Security Officer Rick Howard. “ Moore, lead researcher at the CERT Insider Threat Center, noted, “The book was the result of years of research by staff at CERT and our organizational partners dedicated to helping organizations understand and mitigate the risk of insider threat. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the research, to the Software Engineering Institute for their support, and to Palo Alto Networks for creating the canon and hosting the event.” How useful is this cyber security canon the CSOs and CISOs around the globe?
