Waging War Against Cyberattacks

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Cyberattacks are more destructive than ever, but your C-suite can stop them. This book 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.

Mobilizing the C-suite: Waging War Against Cyberattacks was written to galvanize C-suite leaders into deploying the basic cybersecurity controls vital to defeating cyberattacks, and to support frontline cybersecurity professionals with companywide cyber hygiene training. Most importantly, the book was written to introduce real-world cybersecurity principles to college students-if our future generation of company leaders enter the C-suite with cyber-savvy, then destructive cyberattacks are not a foregone conclusion.
