TrendingTwelve ways to Combat the silent enemyEpilogFigures and tablesAppendicesMost of the time digital security is seen as a IT department responsibility. Nowadays business leaders need to gain sufficient knowledge on leading their organisation into the -riskfree- digital eraIn our recent past, the “burning platform” was often technology. We needed to make the leap from mainframes to client-servers to PCs to mobile, and beyond. Today, the burning platform has moved to leadership. We are building a new business platform that requires genuine lead- ership, a platform that will empower and enable us to lead information availability and the underlying technology. A style of leadership that can turn data into a real asset with honesty, integrity, openness, and transparency. We’ll need to unlearn some of the traits that brought us to the current CIO role and adopt new ways of looking at the world and the future. The authors did justice to the statement above, they did jettison some of the old school traits, and in their skilled writers’ wake they leave us with a dozen time-tested solutions to assist us taking on the Digital Security responsibility, and own it, lead it, control it, handle it, master it, govern it, understand it, fund it, describe it, delete it, ignore it, outsource it, but still run it, live it and love it to CONQUER IT!In many boardrooms and leadership teams, digital security is a key topic on the ­agenda. And, considering the rapid digital transformation of our society, its impor-tance will only increase in the years ahead. Boards and leadership teams are aware of the challenges we face, but often seek guidance that is both robust and relevant.The authors ofthis book have responded to that call by writing a must-read reference guide that connects theories and models to practical instruments and approaches in the field of digital security.
