Cyberattacks are more destructive than ever, but your C-suite can stop them. Mobilizing the C-Suite tells you how.
Cyberattacks are worse now than ever before. To defeat cybercriminals, companies must focus on the low-hanging fruits of cybersecurity. It’s all about the basics. Companies laid low by ransomware failed to practice good cyber hygiene by recklessly allowing weak or reused passwords, not turning on multifactor authentication, or neglecting to install patches to known software vulnerabilities.
Adding insult to grievous injury, many companies failed to mitigate cyber doom by not encrypting their devices, not implementing a data backup plan, or the mother of all blunders, not training their workforce on basic cyber hygiene.
Worse still, hidden risks abound for the unwary. A devastating cyberattack is just moments away when C-suite leaders close their eyes to the hazards of shadow IT, data offshoring, mobile devices, and social media.
This newly revised edition of Mobilizing the C-Suite has been updated to reflect today’s increasingly punitive regulatory landscape, where holding C-suite leaders accountable for cyberattacks is a law-enforcement priority. The author also brings the book’s technical guidance up to date, showing how basic cyber hygiene can thwart even the most determined cybercriminals, armed with the most advanced hacking techniques.
The stakes have never been higher, but by deploying basic cybersecurity controls, C-suite leaders can wage war against cyberattacks—and win.
