A current and well-developed approach to the evaluation and testing of security controls to prove they are functioning correctly in today’s IT systems

From the Back Cover

Security Controls Evaluation, Testing, and Assessment Handbook provides a current and well-developed approach to evaluation and testing of security controls to prove they are functioning correctly in today's IT systems. This handbook shows you how to evaluate, examine, and test installed security controls in the world of threats and potential breach actions surrounding all industries and systems. If a system is subject to external or internal threats and vulnerabilities - which most are - then this book will provide a useful handbook for how to evaluate the effectiveness of the security controls that are in place.

Security Controls Evaluation, Testing, and Assessment Handbook shows you what your security controls are doing and how they are standing up to various inside and outside threats. This handbook provides guidance and techniques for evaluating and testing various computer security controls in IT systems.

Author Leighton Johnson shows you how to take FISMA, NIST Guidance, and DOD actions and provide a detailed, hands-on guide to performing assessment events for information security professionals who work with US federal agencies. As of March 2014, all agencies are following the same guidelines under the NIST-based Risk Management Framework. This handbook uses the DOD Knowledge Service and the NIST Families assessment guides as the basis for needs assessment, requirements, and evaluation efforts for all security controls. Each of the controls can and should be evaluated in its own unique way, through testing, examination, and key personnel interviews.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Provided additional information and insight to RMF control interpretation
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I found that his additional insight provided useful information relative to understanding the intent of the 600 + RMF controls. I've spent numerous years attempting to interpret the DISA and NIST documents. This book provided additional information that can be used to ensure proper compliance while assessing RMF controls.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Pure Garbage -- just read the FREE NIST Docs
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book is pure garbage and the author and publisher should be ashamed for charging money for this item. Essentially, the author just summarizes and recaps information currently available in the FREE NIST volumes. Yes, copies everything and changes a word here and there...tables, graphics, etc. Even the sample assessment formats come from the official documents online. Everything that is currently available for FREE. There is ZERO need to purchase this book. Want a cross-walk table between NIST 800-53a and ISO, just download the FREE NIST 800-53a volume, the table is there word for word, you do not need it from this book. Want to know how to evaluate security controls just go to the FREE NIST volume. I am so upset at the lack of honesty here, but kudos to the author for being creative and using FREE material to sucker people in (I feel for it). So bottom line, AVOID THIS BOOK. Download NIST 800-53a, 800-171, 800-30, 800-39, etc. from the web. EVERYTHING in this book is available online. No need to pay for it.
