Reviews

"...a quick and high-level introduction to the topic of metrics and measurement...For those that are looking to create good security metrics, Measures and Metrics in Corporate Security is a good starting point."

"This book is snappy - ‘if you are not measuring, you are not managing’ - and sets out how metrics (and workplaces do have data) are a part of doing business, not just security...Recommended reading."--Professional Security Magazine Online, August 2014
