More about my information risk management book

As the book's author, I determine what to write about (or not) and how best to express it. Thinking about that led me to clarify my objectives, penning this for the introductory chapter:

"I intend to provide the information, tools/techniques and impetus to:

• Change the way you think about information risk; 

• Help you make better management decisions – ‘better’ in the specific sense of ‘more appropriate for your organisation, more likely to achieve the associated objectives’; 

• Motivate you to do things more rationally, sensibly, effectively and efficiently, making best use of the available resources, not least your own cognitive abilities and valuable time; 

• Encourage you to think about what is going on around you in risk management terms, in particular spotting creative opportunities as well as risks, seeing ‘security’ and ‘controls’ as just one way to tackle the myriad situations before you."
