The non-technical handbook for cyber security risk management
Solving Cyber Risk distills a decade of research into a practical
framework for cyber security. Blending statistical data and cost
information with research into the culture, psychology, and business
models of the hacker community, this book provides business executives,
policy-makers, and individuals with a deeper understanding of existing
future threats, and an action plan for safeguarding their organizations.
Key Risk Indicators reveal vulnerabilities based on organization type,
IT infrastructure and existing security measures, while expert
discussion from leading cyber risk specialists details practical,
real-world methods of risk reduction and mitigation.
By the nature of the business, your organization's customer database is
packed with highly sensitive information that is essentially
hacker-bait, and even a minor flaw in security protocol could spell
disaster. This book takes you deep into the cyber threat landscape to
show you how to keep your data secure.
- Understand who is carrying out cyber-attacks, and why
- Identify your organization's risk of attack and vulnerability to
damage
- Learn the most cost-effective risk reduction measures
- Adopt a new cyber risk assessment and quantification framework based
on techniques used by the insurance industry
By applying risk management principles to cyber security, non-technical
leadership gains a greater understanding of the types of threat, level
of threat, and level of investment needed to fortify the organization
against attack. Just because you have not been hit does not mean your
data is safe, and hackers rely on their targets' complacence to help
maximize their haul. Solving Cyber Risk gives you a concrete action
plan for implementing top-notch preventative measures before you're
forced to implement damage control.
