ABSTRACT

Although organizations have been establishing security postures within their environment since the 1970s, the term security management is still not a well-known term that is used in the same manner across various organizations. Security professionals may even refer to security management from a variety of diŸerent aspects or views. Security management can be used to de›ne how the organization establishes and de›nes its security posture. It can also be used to perform the day-to-day security operations that occur. What security management is and why organizations are moving toward the establishment of this standard today will be answered in this chapter. Information on how to establish security operations to ensure that the requirements de›ned within security management are met will also be included.
