Professional Certifications and Overall Conclusions

This chapter summarizes the book and discusses some items that cut across all strategies. The primary example of this is discussing various professional certifications, and their benefits, uses, and detriments. It then revisits the strategies presented earlier, describing a conceptual means for constructing an overall, balanced approach for dealing with the threats to an organization. The chapter also provides sidebars on Sun Tzu and the difficulties of advanced persistent threats, and concludes with some suggestions for furthering one’s security education.
