Synopsis

Many books discuss the technical underpinnings and complex configurations necessary for cybersecurity—but they fail to address the everyday steps that boards, managers, and employees can take to prevent attacks. The Cybersecurity Playbook is the step-by-step guide to protecting your organization from unknown threats and integrating good security habits into everyday business situations. This book provides clear guidance on how to identify weaknesses, assess possible threats, and implement effective policies. Recognizing that an organization's security is only as strong as its weakest link, this book offers specific strategies for employees at every level.

Drawing from her experience as CMO of one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies, author Allison Cerra incorporates straightforward assessments, adaptable action plans, and many current examples to provide practical recommendations for cybersecurity policies. By demystifying cybersecurity and applying the central concepts to real-world business scenarios, this book will help you deploy cybersecurity measures using easy-to-follow methods and proven techniques, develop a practical security plan tailor-made for your specific needs, and incorporate vital security practices into your everyday workflow quickly and efficiently.

Well we all need a playbook and I do use them for a few aspects of my work but this book is flawed in a few ways. It is written on the basis that we all work in mega corporations with the resources to carry out some of the suggestions. And then there is the corporate messaging that makes the book re......more

I completely agree with the main concept - that cybersecurity is not a setting or a button that could buy, turn on and forget, it's rather a mindset and shared responsibility. This book emphasizes on this idea in very simple terms, so probably more value for non-tech people than technical ones. For m......more
