Publisher's summary

Actionable guidance and expert perspective for real-world cybersecurity

The Cyber Risk Handbook is the practitioner's guide to implementing, measuring, and improving the counter-cyber capabilities of the modern enterprise. The first resource of its kind, this book provides authoritative guidance for real-world situations, and cross-functional solutions for enterprise-wide improvement. Beginning with an overview of counter-cyber evolution, the discussion quickly turns practical with design and implementation guidance for the range of capabilities expected of a robust cyber risk management system that is integrated with the enterprise risk management (ERM) system. Expert contributors from around the globe weigh in on specialized topics with tools and techniques to help any type or size of organization create a robust system tailored to its needs. Chapter summaries of required capabilities are aggregated to provide a new cyber risk maturity model used to benchmark capabilities and to road-map gap improvement.

Cyber risk is a fast-growing enterprise risk, not just an IT risk. Yet seldom is guidance provided as to what this means. This book is the first to tackle in detail those enterprise-wide capabilities expected by board, CEO, and internal audit, of the diverse executive management functions that need to team up with the Information Security function in order to provide integrated solutions.

• Learn how cyber risk management can be integrated to better protect your enterprise
• Design and benchmark new and improved practical counter-cyber capabilities
• Examine planning and implementation approaches, models, methods, and more
• Adopt a new cyber risk maturity model tailored to your enterprise needs

The need to manage cyber risk across the enterprise - inclusive of the IT operations - is a growing concern as massive data breaches make the news on an alarmingly frequent basis. With a cyber risk management system now a business-necessary requirement, practitioners need to assess the effectiveness of their current system, and measure its gap-improvement over time in response to a dynamic and fast-moving threat landscape. The Cyber Risk Handbook brings the world's best thinking to bear on aligning that system to the enterprise and vice-a-versa. Every functional head of any organization must have a copy at-hand to understand their role in achieving that alignment.

If you need it you need it.

First, if you read a review that says that the referenced PDF is not there, it is. In my phone there are three dots at top of app when listening to it. The PDF is there and can be viewed. On the computer, right under where it says listen now is a link that says Open PDF. It is there.

That being said, an audible book that you have to refer to a PDF for, someone should have though this one through a little better. Maybe describe the chart in some way shape or form.

The book was one that I was reading for my masters in Cybersecurity. I spend a lot of time driving a few days a week. Though I had to read only certain sections, I felt the whole book would help.

Each chapter starts and closes with a fictional character talking with different people in the organization as he is preparing to talk to the board of directors. While it seems a little cheesy it sets up what is going to be talked about in the chapter and gets you in mind for it.

While not the most riveting book, if you need to know the information, and just reading it is not helping, some people like me are audible people and learn by hearing. BTW I passed the test.

Shouldn’t be an audio book

I am a fan of audio book but some material is just not fitted to be in such a format. So much abbreviation within this book that u end up hearing just that

Excellent Explainations

This book did a great job of explaining concepts in plain terms and with relatable examples.

The vital PDF is missing!

Several enquries to customer service have not resolved the issue. This reduces the value of the book significantly.

A substandard child's book no real technology info

Today's technology professionals writers need to get to the meat of the information and stop wasting our time with stories

PDF not found

What disappointed you about The Cyber Risk Handbook?

Multiple references to “the PDF” yet no PDF is included, which greatly takes away from the value of the content.
