Enterprise Agility A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management

Enterprise Agility A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management

Despite the astonishing technological developments in our times it is surprising how little has changed in the way organizations are structured and managed. However organizations are finally changing as they embark on agile transformations. Agility concepts emerged from the dynamics of project management and have evolved as they are being applied to organizational structure and operations. This phase of the agile evolution is known as enterprise agility. Filled with real-world scenarios and company case studies Enterprise Agility: A Practical Guide to Agile Business Management covers the evolution of agility including applied processes lessons learned and realized outcomes. The book starts with the initial phase of the agile evolution project agility and describes how waterfall project management is transformed into scrum which can have positive effects on project timelines scope and budget as well as team motivation. The second phase of agility organizational agility is the evolution of the agile principles from temporary projects to permanent organizational structures.

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Even though the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has matured many organisations still struggle with its development and implementation particularly those organisations involved in continuous transformational cycles and subjected to different environmental trends. This book is intended to assist organisations in getting a grip on the factors influencing EA implementation and gaining a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do in the practice of EA. It is a comprehensive and definitive resource that is useful to both business professionals and academics. The book presents an approach for the development implementation or institutionalisation of EA that is independent of any method or other architecture frameworks. It can be applied directly using a realistic selection of organizational variables. The approach has two distinctive features that support EA even in complex environments: From both technical and non-technical perspectives it identifies influencing factors and how they manifest in the practice of EA in an organization It offers linear and practical mechanisms for developing and implementing EA to fortify the practice of the concept in an organisation This approach represents a significant contribution to EA.

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

The popularity of enterprise architecture (EA) has increased in the last two decades in both business and academic domains. Despite the cumulative interest from all sectors the implementation and practice of EA have been entangled with numerous challenges and complexities. Consequently some organisations continue to theorise the concept which has ramifications on practice and ROI. This has led to many studies that have been conducted to understand the complexities impacting the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Yet the trajectory of some convolutions remain a mystery in many quarters. This attributes to the struggle to articulate the value of EA in many environments. Hence many organisations find it difficult to apply EA for strategic management of modern information technology (IT) solutions. Enterprise Architecture for strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions provides guidance on how to employ EA in deploying and managing IT solutions from pragmatic and implementable perspectives. Until now implementation and practice of EA have been slow despite its growing popularity and interest from all sectors. This book employs sociotechnical theories such as actor-network theory (ANT) and structuration theory (ST) as lenses to examine and explain why and how challenges and complexities exist and derail the implementation or practice of EA in organisations. This serves to enable practitioners and readers to gain fresh insights on why the challenges exist and how they can be addressed in creating collaborative capabilities for business enhancement sustainability and competitiveness. The book provides detailed insights on how to apply EA for organisational purposes from three main fronts. First it explains the implications that lack of understanding of EA have on organisational activities and processes. Second it examines the challenges and complexities that hinder the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Third it proposes models and frameworks on how EA can be applied for strategic management of modern IT solutions in organisations.

Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability management (VM) has been around for millennia. Cities tribes nations and corporations have all employed its principles. The operational and engineering successes of any organization depend on the ability to identify and remediate a vulnerability that a would-be attacker might seek to exploit. What were once small communities became castles. Cities had fortifications and advanced warning systems. All such measures were the result of a group recognizing their vulnerabilities and addressing them in different ways. Today we identify vulnerabilities in our software systems infrastructure and enterprise strategies. Those vulnerabilities are addressed through various and often creative means. Vulnerability Management demonstrates a proactive approach to the discipline. Illustrated with examples drawn from Park Foreman’s more than three decades of multinational experience the book demonstrates how much easier it is to manage potential weaknesses than to clean up after a violation. Covering the diverse realms that CISOs need to know and the specifics applicable to singular areas of departmental responsibility he provides both the strategic vision and action steps needed to prevent the exploitation of IT security gaps especially those that are inherent in a larger organization. Completely updated the second edition provides a fundamental understanding of technology risks—including a new chapter on cloud vulnerabilities and risk management—from an interloper’s perspective. This book is a guide for security practitioners security or network engineers security officers and CIOs seeking understanding of VM and its role in the organization. To serve various audiences it covers significant areas of VM. Chapters on technology provide executives with a high-level perspective of what is involved. Other chapters on process and strategy although serving the executive well provide engineers and security managers with perspective on the role of VM technology and processes in the success of the enterprise.

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls

The Complete Guide to Cybersecurity Risks and Controls presents the fundamental concepts of information and communication technology (ICT) governance and control. In this book you will learn how to create a working practical control structure that will ensure the ongoing day-to-day trustworthiness of ICT systems and data. The book explains how to establish systematic control functions and timely reporting procedures within a standard organizational framework and how to build auditable trust into the routine assurance of ICT operations. The book is based on the belief that ICT operation is a strategic governance issue rather than a technical concern. With the exponential growth of security breaches and the increasing dependency on external business partners to achieve organizational success the effective use of ICT governance and enterprise-wide frameworks to guide the implementation of integrated security controls are critical in order to mitigate data theft. Surprisingly many organizations do not have formal processes or policies to protect their assets from internal or external threats. The ICT governance and control process establishes a complete and correct set of managerial and technical control behaviors that ensures reliable monitoring and control of ICT operations. The body of knowledge for doing that is explained in this text. This body of knowledge process applies to all operational aspects of ICT responsibilities ranging from upper management policy making and planning all the way down to basic technology operation.
