### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The CISO's Bible
*by S***E on April 21, 2015*

In a world where seemingly everything is oversold, this is the rare exception that is undersold. The title succinctly states, without drama, the authors’ broad ambit. They over-deliver. The book is nothing less than a manifesto for quantitative management of information security risk.Consider how radical it is to promise a truly quantitative approach to cyber risk management in a world dominated by numerous qualitative “frameworks,” red-yellow-green heat maps, thousand-item one-size-fits-all questionnaires, subjective and qualitative scales of likelihood and impact, and fake math like “red times green equals yellow”. And then consider how transformational it is to deliver on the promise.Other reviewers have nicely discussed the book’s coverage of the FAIR taxonomy. Suffice it to say that MMIR is your best friend in understanding the Open Group FAIR standards. Freund and Jones bring a potentially dry subject alive with many “Talking About Risk” sidebars that tell of their experience with FAIR methods in practice. These war stories make the content accessible and relevant. I especially appreciate the authors’ informal style that is conversational without being verbose and humorous without being patronizing or cute. What the war stories leave out chapter 8 fills in with numerous example analyses. A worked example is better than a thousand war stories.If giving a thorough rationale for and introduction to FAIR were all that MMIR did, it would be worth its weight in gold. But wait! There’s more!It’s the “managing” part, chapters 11-14, that constitutes another breakthrough beyond FAIR. There Freund and Jones begin laying out (one senses it is a work in progress) a risk management ontology, built on the FAIR risk measurement ontology. In rethinking the classification of controls in the context of threat event frequency, vulnerability, and loss mitigation, they provide ways to assess and – yikes! – quantify the potential value of control improvements, in isolation or in combination. This gives the CISO the beginning of a way to manage the control environment, not just the threats.But controls not consistently adhered to are both false comfort and all too common. Therefore F&J suggest that variance in the application of controls is perhaps the single most important set of infosec management metrics. As the old saw goes, if you cannot measure it you cannot manage it, and if you do not know how well your controls are operating on a continuing basis, then what confidence can you have in the millions of dollars invested in technology and staff?Which brings us to metrics. It is perhaps not surprising that a methodology based on quantitative analysis lends itself to meaningful metrics. F&J offer many concrete suggestions far superior to the grab-bag of metrics found in vendor dashboards (measure what’s cheap and looks cool) and other books. These are real metrics that the CISO can use to … manage risk.And managing risk is really why we do all this stuff. Making good decisions on both operational and strategic levels requires good data derived from reliable instruments and methods. It is in managing risk that MMIR is truly seminal and profound.If they do another edition Freund and Jones should consider adding a subtitle, “The CISO’s Bible,” because CISOs will find themselves coming back to it time and again. Or maybe that is the next book.
