Free The Best Damn IT Security Management Book Period
The book is not the best book on IT Security Management and is not for someone wanting to learn something about IT security. It lacks an introduction to put the entire book in context. The main process presented for reviewing and resolving the security in a IT system is based on an 1990's NSA methodology, INFOSEC Evaluation Methodology, which is not used outside of the Intelligence community, because it is too expensive and strict. It only provides a paragraph on the most commonly used standards from the National Standards and Technology Institute (NIST Special Publication 37) and the ISO/IEC 27000 series. As a reference, the book is unusable as a reference because of the large Table of Contents (31 pages) and the unreadable Index.

This book is divided into three major security components VA (Vulnerability Assessments), NSE (Network Security Evaluations) and BC/DR (Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery). Following these major security phases provides an organized framework and roadmap to evaluate, establish, and or enhance an IT security posture. Within these major components are specific tasks detailing the intricacies of security posture and controls evaluations and verifications.
The Federal NIST guidelines and OMB memorandums are laundry lists of security controls that are basically a "brain dump" with little or no process or structure. The strong point of the NIST & OMB publications are the definitions and guidance for security controls. These are good for security controls definitions and reference, not for IT security project execution. Attaining FISMA C&A compliance (Federal IT security controls) is a daunting task if the NIST and OMB publications are your primary source. The FISMA Handbook will provide significant structure and time savings if FISMA compliance is your security goal.
The authors of this book have a plethora of both commercial and government IT security experience (15 AUTHORS!!! All with Security experience and many certifications; including FISMA). I just completed an enterprise architecture IT security segment transition plan for a major federal agency utilizing this book as the major foundation for identifying the current state findings and future state recommendations. This book was invaluable.
