The IAM from a real world perspective

Whether you are currently performing IAM assessments, or if you or your organization wants to begin using the IAM, this book is an excellent reference.As any assessor knows, there is no such thing as two identical assessments. That said, the authors provide a cross section of examples that illustrate many different situations that you will see on site. The authors of this book are THE authorities on the IAM and the information they present will help new assessors build a foundation for using the IAM while at the same time providing information that is essential for a practicing assessor to add to his arsenal. Overall an outstanding book.

Security Assessment a MUST have

Whether you are an experienced security professional or just starting out in security, this book is a MUST for anyone serious about security. Although I have taken the NSA IAM training in the past, this book is a great compliment to the training. The authors have combined their professional experience using the IAM with feedback and experiences from class participants and customers, and applied them to real world, practical, case studies. It demonstrates how the IAM, a thorough hands-off security assessment methodology, can be applied to both government and commercial entities. The book guides you through the entire IAM process, with highlighted tips and caveats that you will not get from any other source. After you complete this insightful book, you will be armed with information that will be valuable to you, your company, and your customers in performing a thorough hands-off security assessment. This book will be a great reference for the IEM.
