Understand the magic and business of information protection with "The Alchemy of Information Protection." To many people, the concept of information as an asset is foreign, let alone how one would begin to secure that information. This book is intended for the non-cybersecurity executive and those who are tasked with the protection of the company's information assets. Active Chief Information Security Officers will enjoy the stories and may find ideas to help them improve their programs.

Cybersecurity is not a one size fits all solution; therefore, security must be tailored to the needs of the individual. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with rational business processes by which they can understand what information is important, and why. "The Alchemy of Information Protection" was specifically written for: 1. The non-cybersecurity executive or business owner who wants to gain an understanding of their role in the protection of the company's information assets. 2. The person in the company who is tasked with creating and maintaining a cost-effective program to protect the company's information assets. 3. The Chief Information Security Officer who may be reminded of some points where they can improve their programs.
