Book Featured in Forbes Australia - Building a Cyber Resilient Business

I'm beyond ecstatic to find out that one of my many-years-in-the-making dream of mine just came to life. My heart swelled with joy when I saw a familiar looking bright yellow cover made an appearance in the news section, and in the leadership category on Forbes Australia.

In Forbes Australia's special Summer coverage of "What business leaders are reading", I was thrilled to find out that "Building a Cyber Resilient Business - a cyber handbook for executives and boards" made their shortlist of key books that CEOs and business leaders are reading at the moment.

Special thanks to AS White Global's Chief Executive - Joe Fussell , for the incredible review shared on my book! With news of cyber attacks on the different industry sectors constantly making the headlines in the last few months, boards are sitting up and becoming more cognizant that cyber risk has to be considered part of their enterprise risk management.

In Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil's recent address at the National Press Club, she announced a major program of work to develop a new cyber security strategy for Australia, which will help Australia bring the whole nation into the fight to protect our citizens and to protect our economy.

“We need a reset, and we need a pathway to get there. ”

This is a very timely book indeed to gift to all executives and boards - together with my co-authors Dr Magda Chelly and Hai Tran , we've been working tirelessly on this project for several years. Our vision is to equip the different levels of the C-Suite and directors with a practical handbook that is all about connecting the cyber risk dots and aligning the different worlds so that better collaboration can take place across the entire ecosystem.

Each chapter is tailored to the different executives (there's also a chapter for the boards) and comes with different cyber risk questions that can help you navigate your cyber resilience journey.

Building a Cyber Resilient Business is now available directly on Packt, Kindle and Amazon.

Takeaway Excerpts

Teresa Dyson , Non Executive Director and Audit & Risk Committee Chair on boards:

"The authors have presented a clear pathway for engagement with boards on cyber risk identification and management. Shamane's six success criteria provide a useful checklist for boards in considering and discussing cyber risks... a valuable framework for ensuring the best outcomes for all businesses."

Nicholas Chilton , Head of Board Advisory, Nasdaq:

"Shamane, Magda and Hai lay out a clear set of questions for both directors and C-suite executives which go to the heart of effective cybersecurity risk management. I would highly encourage any prospective and current board members or C-suite executives to read the chapter for boards in depth, and ask those very questions of their organization without delay."

Tim Wenzel, CPP , Head of Global Security Protective Intelligence, Meta:

"I especially enjoyed the chapter on the secret recipe and building security culture. It's only through asking the right provocative questions that we can identify the problems worth solving, and invite thought leadership and discussion. Great work authors!"
