Description
Book SynopsisThis is the book executives have been waiting for. It is clear: With deep expertise but in nontechnical language, it describes what cybersecurity risks are and the decisions executives need to make to address them. It is crisp: Quick and to the point, it doesn''t waste words and won''t waste your time. It is candid: There is no sure cybersecurity defense, and Chris Moschovitis doesn''t pretend there is; instead, he tells you how to understand your company''s risk and make smart business decisions about what you can mitigate and what you cannot.
It is also, in all likelihood, the only book ever written (or ever to be written) about cybersecurity defense that is fun to read.
