The Cybersecurity Playbook

How Every Leader and Employee Can Contribute to a Culture of Security

De: Allison Cerra

Narrado por: Chloe Cannon

Many books discuss the technical underpinnings and complex configurations necessary for cybersecurity - but they fail to address the everyday steps that boards, managers, and employees can take to prevent attacks. The Cybersecurity Playbook is the step-by-step guide to protecting your organization from unknown threats and integrating good security habits into everyday business situations. This audiobook provides clear guidance on how to identify weaknesses, assess possible threats, and implement effective policies. Recognizing that an organization's security is only as strong as its weakest link, this audiobook offers specific strategies for employees at every level.

Drawing from her experience as CMO of one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies, author Allison Cerra incorporates straightforward assessments, adaptable action plans, and many current examples to provide practical recommendations for cybersecurity policies. By demystifying cybersecurity and applying the central concepts to real-world business scenarios, this audiobook will help you deploy cybersecurity measures using easy-to-follow methods and proven techniques, develop a practical security plan tailor-made for your specific needs, and incorporate vital security practices into your everyday workflow quickly and efficiently.

good for non technical, a bit too much filler

Lots of good advice for the non technical. Went outside the topic scope a few times.

Not for cybersecurity pros, a bit forceful on others

This book will be good and practical for those with an interest in fundamental and practical cybersecurity practices. Those who have worked in the field for more than a year or two will benefit very little. Its usefulness friends on where you are.

This book also tends to place quite a bit of burden on those in non-IT and non-security roles. While secure practices are best introduced into areas where there are currently absent, few respond well to brow-beating. I'd say it's at a 6 and needs to be at a 3, enough to instill importance and responsibility but not get on their case. At one point the author states, "Everyone reading this book is either part of the cybersecurity problem or part of its solution for his company." Statements like that aren't how you win hearts and minds.
