"Within a financially challenging environment like healthcare, this book is especially valuable in helping the reader create cost-effective strategies using data and metrics instead of just guessing what might work. Not only does this book offer an excellent overview of the healthcare security industry, it also describes specific tools and techniques that will help the healthcare security manager to be successful."
