Building a Cyber Resilient Business Via the C-Suite Lens

As our world becomes increasingly digital, cyber threats are on the rise and pose a significant risk to businesses of all sizes. It's critical that executives recognise the importance of cybersecurity as a top business priority and work together to create a proactive cybersecurity culture.

Unfortunately, many C-Suite members still view cybersecurity as a technical problem rather than an organisational responsibility. It's time for executives to take ownership of cybersecurity and embed it in every aspect of their business function.

Industry leaders are experts in their fields, but how many of them understand the dynamic priorities of the C-Suite as a whole? That's where self-assessment questions tailored to each level of the C-Suite can come in handy. These questions can help executives evaluate major cybersecurity initiatives and determine the level of investment required.

Imagine a world where every executive has a deep appreciation of how they can contribute to their organisation's cyber program. A world where they work closely with the CISO and security team to build a cyber-resilient, profitable, and sustainable business. That's the world we're striving for, and it's what I've aimed to capture in my new book: "Building a Cyber Resilient Business: A Cyber Handbook for Executives and Boards," co-authored with Dr Magda Chelly and Hai Tran .

Our book is an essential guide for any executive who wants to understand their role in increasing their business's cyber resilience. It covers topics such as:

• Why cybersecurity should matter to the C-suite
• How different roles contribute to an organization's security
• How priorities of roles affect an executive's contribution to security
• Financial losses and business impact caused by cyber risks
• The role of the board of directors in cybersecurity programs
• Recipes for building a strong cybersecurity culture
• Tips on cyber risk quantification and cyber insurance
• A common language that bridges the gap between business and cybersecurity

This book is designed for C-suite executives who may not have a background in cybersecurity. It bridges the gaps between the CISO and the rest of the executives, helping CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, COOs, and others understand how they can work together with the CISO and their team to achieve organization-wide cyber resilience, preserving business value and driving growth.

"Building a Cyber Resilient Business" is available now on Amazon. Readers can also take advantage of the 20% discount (discount code: 20CYBER) till 27th March. We hope it will be a valuable resource for executives looking to take a proactive approach to cybersecurity and protect their businesses from cyber threats.
