However, non-cyber executives find it challenging to understand their role in increasing the business's cyber resilience due to its complex nature and the lack of a clear return on investment. This book demystifies the perception that cybersecurity is a technical problem, drawing parallels between the key responsibilities of the C-suite roles to line up with the mission of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The book equips you with all you need to know about cyber risks to run the business effectively. Each chapter provides a holistic overview of the dynamic priorities of the C-suite (from the CFO to the CIO, COO, CRO, and so on), and unpacks how cybersecurity must be embedded in every business function. The book also contains self-assessment questions, which are a helpful tool in evaluating any major cybersecurity initiatives and/or investment required. With this book, you'll have a deeper appreciation of the various ways all executives can contribute to the organization's cyber program, in close collaboration with the CISO and the security team, and achieve a cyber-resilient, profitable, and sustainable business.What you will learn• Understand why cybersecurity should matter to the C-suite• Explore how different roles contribute to an organization's security• Discover how priorities of roles affect an executive's contribution to security• Understand financial losses and business impact caused by cyber risks• Come to grips with the role of the board of directors in cybersecurity programs• Leverage the recipes to build a strong cybersecurity culture• Discover tips on cyber risk quantification and cyber insurance• Define a common language that bridges the gap between business and cybersecurityWho this book is forThis book is for the C-suite and executives who are not necessarily working in cybersecurity.
