currently reading



I'm currently reading


The CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) 2011 Review Manual. I'm taking the exam in a week and I'm just getting around to reading and finishing the book. Now to start taking practice exams. This is either going to go really well or very poorly.




I am also reading Good To Great by Jim Collins. But that's been on back burner for some time. I'm taking everything written in the book with a grain of salt because one of my mentors told me "Good to Great is for wankers".







I recently just finished Made to Stick. I think it's something that all IT people should read especially if they have to engage with stakeholders. I've noticed IT and specifically Security has a hard time justifying what they do and why it's important.

    I read Good To Great as an intern at RLI. You can get most of the value in the first couple chapters. Everything after that is fluff. I don't understand why some people like it so much.

    Thanks for the tip on Made to Stick. I'll have to add it to my list.

    No problem. Any books you'd recommend?
