Synopsis

Maintaining information security is a multi-faceted operation that is best managed with a single comprehensive strategy rather than mix of tactics based on whatever point solutions are already deployed. In The Essentials Series: Security Information Management, readers will learn about the fundamental processes and technologies that support security information management (SIM) operations, as well as the business justification for SIM. The series includes an examination of different options for implementing SIM and evaluation criteria for selecting the best options for a particular organization.
