Did you know that the National Security Agency has a methodology that they use and recommend? Security Evaluation was written by professionals who not only use this methodology themselves, but who helped develop and teach the course for the NSA. Security Evaluation guides the experienced INFOSEC professional through a step-by-step process to ensure their customers receive the most accurate and comprehensive evaluation of their network security posture as possible. Security Evaluation is unique as it starts with the customer's information, not the technical tools to be used. In this way, the INFOSEC professional is able to ensure the results are relevant to the customer as opposed to delivering a standardized report, which may or may not directly affect or improve security posture. In addition, this framework will not only give the customer a sense of where they are, but also a way for both the service provider and customer to monitor and track progress over time using this repeatable methodology. Don't be misled by other books that focus only on technical tools. As an INFOSEC professional, you owe it to yourself and your customers to also have an understanding of how legislation, industry regulation, and legal issues affect you both. Network Security Evaluation Using the NSA IEM helps you put this all together and deliver a final product that the customer will actually understand and use. Average Rating:

Rogers, ... Read More Rating:  - Very helpful, but perhaps not for reasons you expectI am a security consultant in the DC area, so I have heard the NSA IAM and IEM terms bandied about the Beltway. I read Network Security Evaluation Using the NSA IEM (NSE) to get a better understanding of the IEM side of the equation. I found the business process coverage of this book helpful, along with the general understanding of the goals of the IAM and IEM. For these two reasons you may find NSE helpful too. The Prologue, ch 1, ch 2, and Part I (which oddly begins with ch 3 and ends ... Read More
