From the reviews:

"The authors of this book are known to researchers in information technology security ... . This book is a short introduction to information security governance. ... The book gives managers a quick overview of what this term, 'information security governance,' is about and serves as a reference for managers. The book might also be useful for university courses that only touch on the subject, at an introductory level. ... The book is well written, easy to read, and has clear benefits for the reader."
