???????????? ????????????????????: ?????????????? ??????????, ?????????? ????????????????????, ?????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ???????? ???????????????????? If you’re in cybersecurity, GRC, risk, or IT Audit, read Thriving on the Edge of Chaos by DVMS Institute. This book isn’t just about security but digital trust, resilience, and leadership in the AI era. Unfortunately, we still rely on outdated models of expertise. Too many organizations assume certifications & years of experience equal competency. My research and that of other scientists before me have proven otherwise—true expertise comes from hands-on experience, systems thinking, & the ability to adapt in real time. This book aligns with these critical insights & can reshape how we approach cybersecurity and governance: ■ Cybersecurity is a business issue, not just an IT issue. Organizations that fail to integrate security into their business strategy are setting themselves up for failure. ■ Competency beats credentials. Experience alone doesn’t mean expertise. Success in this space requires real-world skills, systems thinking, and the ability to adapt. ■ Resilience is the real goal. Cybersecurity shouldn’t just prevent attacks—it should enable organizations to adapt, recover, and innovate. This book introduces the Digital Value Management System (DVMS) as a roadmap for doing just that. If you’re serious about leveling up your cybersecurity and GRC game, here are some resources from the DVMS Institute worth checking out: ??
