*Introduction*
IT security can no longer be considered as a technical issue, but it is a
process that involves the whole company. It is widely accepted that security
needs to reach the governance level so that senior directors understand the
risks and the opportunities, and have assurance that these are being
properly and continuously managed.
This relevant role assumption has caused the development of a lot of
initiatives (frameworks, standards, etc.) in the last few years to foster IT
Governance inside any corporation, such as CobiT or ISO/IEC standards
(ISO/IEC 27000, ISO/IEC 38500…). From a global perspective, this diversity,
also found in the context of security technical issues, has made us consider
its application as a very complex and hard process to understand with a very
difficult implantation curve.
In order to facilitate the adoption of IT Security Governance by the
different types of organizations, the objective of this book is to compile
existing approaches, standards, best practices and new trends in IT Security
Governance. The book will highlight the main contributions and
characteristics of each one. From the theoretical and practical
perspectives, this book is intended to address security during the whole IT
Security Governance implantation lifecycle. From IT risk-based security
goals and policies up to IT security governance tools and metrics
implemented by most sound IT security standards or guidelines for each
specific scenario. This book would also help managers to be aware of
limitations of current approaches and the gaps which need to be covered in
order to achieve a complete integration of the security governance within
the global governance.

*Objective of the Book*
This book aims to provide a theoretical and academic description of IT
security governance issues, and practical and useful guidelines, standards,
