A Brief Guide to Building a Resilient Life

The world of information security is notorious for being an environment that is fast-paced and always changing. Nothing ever stands still and new threats are looming around every corner. This brings unique challenges when looking at how to keep information systems up and running, but most importantly - adaptable and secure. We spend our days continually thinking about how to establish policies and implement controls that will keep our systems and users safe. We manage inventories, watch for anomalies, update and upgrade systems, and respond to potential threats on a daily basis. In other words, ours is an industry of risk management and continual adaptation to adversity.

The interesting idea is that these are some of the same problems and situations that we face in our personal lives. It is my belief that the frameworks we use in the information security world can be applied to our personal lives to help us manage risk, reduce anxiety and achieve the goals we set for ourselves.

So, I set out to bring the worlds of information security and personal development together. In this short book, I will walk you through the five functions of the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)'s Cybersecurity Framework and show you how they can be used to help you construct processes and routines that will help you build a resilient life.
