Cyber Risk Leadership book cover by Paul C Dwyer

Cyber Risk Leadership

By Paul C Dwyer · also author of The Art of Cyber Risk Oversight
"What every board needs to know — an executive briefing developed specifically for the business leaders of the financial sector."

A non-technical, business-focused briefing giving leadership clarity on the global cyber risk landscape: the objectives of threat actors, the interplay of geopolitics and cybercrime, the growing burden of regulation, and the anatomy of an attack.

It concludes with the role of leadership in meeting the cyber challenge — aligning cyber strategy with business strategy, meaningful metrics, G7 guidance, and ten key actions for assuring your organisation's cyber resilience status.
