FACING CYBER THREATS HEAD ON

News breaks all the time that hackers have attacked another company. With all these events happening, business leaders worldwide are asking: What does this mean for my business? A groundbreaking book, FACING CYBER THREATS HEAD ON looks at cyber security from a business leader perspective and outlines strategies to protect against not just attacks, but attackers. Informed by his decades of experience and using real life data breaches at companies including Target, Minick explains the motivations behind attacks. In FACING CYBER THREATS HEAD ON, he explains that technology is not the answer to cyber security issues. People, not technology, are behind emerging cyber risks. Understanding this brings to light that cyber protection is not a battle of technology, but against people. Based on this, a new approach is required—one that balances business risk with the cost of creating defenses that can change as quickly and often as attackers can. Readers will find in FACING CYBER THREATS HEAD ON a terrific resource for understanding the why and how of cyber risks, and will be better able to defend themselves and their businesses against them in the future.
