I recently had a look inside Debra Baker, CISSP CCSP A CISO Guide to Cyber Resilience from Packt Publishing. Debra has broken down the role of the CISO into easy to understand and follow areas. She has included case studies that step you through an attack and breaks down the anatomy of the why and the how to recover. This book takes you on a journey through all areas of technology and building cyber resilience through defense in depth strategies. Debra also provides an excellent level of insight into the impact of AI in the final chapter. This book should be on the shelf of any executive that is serious about building a risk aware and cyber resilient organization. The level of detail along with the simplicity of explanation makes this a must have for anyone in IT or cybersecurity.
