The Business of Cyber
This book examines the cybersecurity phenomenon, looking at the folklore, the hype, and the behaviour of its practitioners. A central theme is that the management of cybersecurity needs to be owned by the people running the organisation, rather than the security team. To achieve that, managers need to be provided with the background and the detail needed to challenge what they are being told by the security team, enabling them to engage in a way that will result in more appropriate outcomes for the business. This book aims to provide that background and detail. The content is strongly rooted in available research, presented in an accessible manner, with a number of business-related case studies. Each chapter in the book takes a theme such as end-user behaviours, and compares the available evidence with what the industry would have its customers believe. The conclusion is that there is definitely a problem, and we certainly need cyber defences. Just not the ones the industry is currently selling.
