Cybersecurity Governance
A guide for executives who need to understand cybersecurity in plain, actionable language
What the book covers
Written for high-level decision-makers rather than security engineers, the book covers the evolution of cybersecurity, today's challenges and goals, compliance obligations, the distinction between a threat and a vulnerability, and the major threats and trends an executive should recognise.
Its value in advisory work is the shared vocabulary it gives a board and its technical advisers, so that security decisions can be governed rather than delegated blindly.

Where this fits
