A wealth of material has been written to describe the underlying mechanics of ITSM, but very little practical advice is available on how to implement ITSM best practices to achieve an organization's business objectives.The official ITIL volumes explain what service management is, how the processes work and fit together, and why IT functions should adopt the practice, but they are notoriously vague on how to design and implement an ITSM model in a real organization. This challenge is best understood by those with experience of transforming ineffective and expensive IT, yet most ITSM guides are authored from a purely academic standpoint.Real-world IT Service ManagementThis book provides guidance on implementing ITSM Best Practices in an organization based on the authors' real-world experiences. Advice is delivered through a Ten-Step approach, with each step building upon the successes of its predecessors.Subjects covered include:Documenting objectives, identifying current and future demands, analyzing service financials.High-level design, negotiating development priorities, creating an execution plan and roadmap, agreeing roles and responsibilities.Detailed design, building, testing, deploying.Monitoring and continual improvement.Each step includes summary lists of key questions to ask and specific actions to take, and a useful business case template is included as an appendix.A practical guide to ITSMAs organizations seek to boost revenue, cut costs and increase efficiency, they increasingly look to IT as a strategic partner in achieving these objectives.Ten Steps to ITSM Success helps IT to prepare for this role by providing a detailed and practical guide to implementing ITSM best practices. It is aimed at ITSM practitioners and consultants, but will also be of interest to IT Directors and C-suite executives looking to transform the role of IT into a value-creating business partner, to establish a service management culture, and to drive improvements in their respective organizations.

Ensure the success of your security programme by understanding users' motivations"e;This book cuts to the heart of many of the challenges in risk management, providing advice and tips from interviews as well as models that can be employed easily. Leron manages to do this without being patronising or prescriptive, making it an easy read with some very real practical takeaways."e;Thom Langford, Chief Information Security Officer at Publicis Groupe"e;Based on real world examples the book provides valuable insights into the relationship of information security, compliance, business economics and decision theory. Drawing on interdisciplinary studies, commentary from the field and his own research Leron gives the reader the necessary background and practical tools to drive improvements in their own information security program."e;Daniel Schatz, Director for Threat & Vulnerability Management at Thomson ReutersIn today's corporations, information security professionals have a lot on their plate. In the face of constantly evolving cyber threats they must comply with numerous laws and regulations, protect their company's assets and mitigate risks to the furthest extent possible.Security professionals can often be ignorant of the impact that implementing security policies in a vacuum can have on the end users' core business activities. These end users are, in turn, often unaware of the risk they are exposing the organisation to. They may even feel justified in finding workarounds because they believe that the organisation values productivity over security. The end result is a conflict between the security team and the rest of the business, and increased, rather than reduced, risk.This can be addressed by factoring in an individual's perspective, knowledge and awareness, and a modern, flexible and adaptable information security approach. The aim of the security practice should be to correct employee misconceptions by understanding their motivations and working with the users rather than against them - after all, people are a company's best assets.Product descriptionBased on insights gained from academic research as well as interviews with UK-based security professionals from various sectors,The Psychology of Information Security - Resolving conflicts between security compliance and human behaviourexplains the importance of careful risk management and how to align a security programme with wider business objectives, providing methods and techniques to engage stakeholders and encourage buy-in.The Psychology of Information Securityredresses the balance by considering information security from both viewpoints in order to gain insight into security issues relating to human behaviour , helping security professionals understand how a security culture that puts risk into context promotes compliance.ContentsChapter 1: Introduction to information securityChapter 2: Risk managementChapter 3: The complexity of risk managementChapter 4: Stakeholders and communicationChapter 5: Information security governanceChapter 6: Problems with policiesChapter 7: How security managers make decisionsChapter 8: How users make decisionsChapter 9: Security and usabilityChapter 10: Security cultureChapter 11: The psychology of complianceChapter 12: Conclusion - Changing the approach to securityAppendix: AnalogiesAbout the authorLeron Zinatullin (zinatullin.com) is an experienced risk consultant specialising in cyber security strategy, management and delivery.

Are your internal audits adding value? Organizations hoping to comply with any of the International Standards for management systems (e.g. ISO9001, ISO27001) must carry out internal audits. However, the requirements set down by accreditation bodies for auditor courses make little distinction between internal and external audit programs. As a result, many organizations instruct their internal auditors using resources designed for external auditors. Such internal audit programs often fail to develop beyond simple compliance monitoring, and risk becoming 'box-ticking' exercises, adding little value to the organization. This book provides a model for the management and implementation of internal audits that moves beyond simple compliance to ISO requirements and turns the internal audit into a transformational tool that the organization can use to assist with the management of risk, and implement improvements to management systems. It shows you how you can transform your internal auditing process to become a tool for development and continual improvement in your management systems. Buy this book and start adding value to your internal auditing program.
