This book delves into the critical realm of cyber security, specifically focusing on the ever-present threats that can cripple your organization. We will dissect real-world attacks methods and mitigation strategies, analyze industry and regulatory requirements as they impact your boardroom decisions, and expose the vulnerabilities that leave organizations susceptible to data breaches.
But why should cyber security be a top priority for CEOs, directors, and board members? A successful cyber-attack can be catastrophic. Beyond financial losses, data breaches can erode customer trust, damage brand reputation, disrupt critical operations, and even lead to legal ramifications for the board and for directors, such as regulatory fines and lawsuits.
