Overview of this book

Agile security operations allow organizations to survive cybersecurity incidents, deliver key insights into the security posture of an organization, and operate security as an integral part of development and operations. It is, deep down, how security has always operated at its best. Agile Security Operations will teach you how to implement and operate an agile security operations model in your organization. The book focuses on the culture, staffing, technology, strategy, and tactical aspects of security operations. You'll learn how to establish and build a team and transform your existing team into one that can execute agile security operations. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll be able to improve your understanding of some of the key concepts of security, align operations with the rest of the business, streamline your operations, learn how to report to senior levels in the organization, and acquire funding. By the end of this Agile book, you'll be ready to start implementing agile security operations, using the book as a handy reference.
