Free Security Assessment: Case Studies for Implementing the NSA IAM
There are two things that are extremely frustrating in working on audits and risk and security assessments. One is that too many people in online discussion fora and ListServs want templates handed to them free so they can resell them or tell their boss about the great work that they did. The second has been the absence of, in the technical book arena, any reference book that focuses more on the business process side of conducting security assessments. Security Assessment - Case Studies for Implementing The NSA IAM (Greg Miles, Russ Rogers et al, Syngress Press, 2004, 429 Pages, US$69.95 List/US$44.07 Amazon) fills both of these holes, but not without incurring a penalty stroke for "grounding the club" in a hazard.
IAM stands for Information Security (INFOSEC) Assessment Methodology and NSA stands for the National Security Agency. These are two things you learn right up front from the authors as the explain how this methodology came to be a the result of the need to do more in a time of budget cuts and its evolution into a broad methodology that can be used by any group in the public or private sector. From this start and background, the authors successfully walk the reader through the "soft skill" side of the security assessment process. What makes this book different than others is that there is little to no discussion of tools used in the assessment. What it does focus on is how to identify assessment needs (for the customer) and opportunities (for the consulting firm).
