I’ve noted a lack of books designed to arm a Board of Directors with actionable information about cybersecurity. My book is designed to fill this gap. I plan to post each chapter and section here on my web site. Comments are enabled for anyone interested in providing feedback, suggested changes, or more information.

My Mission
Bruce Schneier (https://www.schneier.com/) once said while testifying to congress about the Equifax breach “…financial markets reward bad security. Given the choice between increasing their cybersecurity budget by 5%, or saving that money and taking the chance, a rational CEO chooses to save the money. Wall Street rewards those whose balance sheets look good, not those who are secure.“https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2017/11/testimony_before_the_1.html I want to help companies generate maximum value of their cybersecurity investments by reducing risk.
