Mike Rothman at Security Incite, one of my favorite InfoSec blogs, has this interesting effort coming up soon

Coming Soon: The Pragmatic CSO

As I mentioned this morning, today is a special day for Security Incite. After almost a year of finding my “sea legs” by getting back in the research game and building an audience - it’s now time to take my research and advisory to the next level. To do this, I’m writing a book called The Pragmatic CSO: 12 Steps to Becoming a Security Master. The book will be available on January 2. I’ve put up a teaser website at http://www.pragmaticcso.com to provide a bit more detail on the project.

Why am I doing this? Because a lot of the folks I talk to every day are in pain. They appreciate the daily information I provide because it keeps them current, but many still struggle with how to get beyond the tactical mayhem of fighting fires. These folks need help in defining and executing on a security PROGRAM that allows them to both act strategically and also show the value to the folks that hold the purse strings.

I looked at Mike’s teaser, and expect I’ll be recommending it to a pretty large number of folks I work with.
