Reviews for The Chief Security Officer’s Handbook: Leading Your Team into the Future

""The book provides insightful and meaningful direction for a CSO or anyone aspiring to grow and lead within the industry. While the author highlights the CSO’s responsibility in planning and managing critical security programs across a wide area, so too does he give emphasis to the most important part of the position - leadership. The author does a superb job of translating complex information into practical prose. The Chief Security Officer’s Handbook would be a solid addition to any security practitioner’s professional library - especially for those who aspire to leadership roles."" --Security Management
