The CISM Review Manual 2013 serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals preparing for the CISM exam and those interested in the roles of information security managers. Enhanced over ten editions, this peer-reviewed resource provides current insights into information security management. The 2013 edition helps candidates grasp essential concepts across four job practice areas, maintaining an easy-to-navigate format. Each chapter is divided into two sections: the first outlines definitions, objectives, and tasks relevant to information security managers, along with knowledge statements tested in the exam. The second section offers reference material that supports these knowledge statements, enriching candidates' understanding as they prepare for certification. Additionally, the manual includes definitions of commonly encountered terms. It serves effectively as a standalone study tool, a resource for study groups, or a reference for local review courses. Furthermore, it can be used alongside the CISM Review Questions, Answers and Explanations Manual 2012 and its 2013 supplement. This manual is also a primary resource for information security managers seeking guidance on governance, risk management, compliance, program development, and incident response.
