Use the guidance in this comprehensive field guide to gain the support of your top executives for aligning a rational cybersecurity plan with your business. You will learn how to improve working relationships with stakeholders in complex digital businesses, IT, and development environments. You will know how to prioritize your security program, and motivate and retain your team.Misalignment between security and your business can start at the top at the C-suite or happen at the line of business, IT, development, or user level. It has a corrosive effect on any security project it touches. But it does not have to be like this.
Author Dan Blum presents valuable lessons learned from interviews with over 70 security and business leaders. You will discover how to successfully solve issues related to: risk management, operational security, privacy protection, hybrid cloud management, security culture and user awareness, and communication challenges.
This open access book presents six priority areas to focus on to maximize the effectiveness of your cybersecurity program: risk management, control baseline, security culture, IT rationalization, access control, and cyber-resilience. Common challenges and good practices are provided for businesses of different types and sizes. And more than 50 specific keys to alignment are included.

Introduction Explain the book's focus, audience, organization, and contents.
Chapter 1: Rationalize Cybersecurity for your Business Landscape
Describes the six cybersecurity priority focus areas.
Chapter 2: Identify and Empower Security-Related Roles
Explains how the people in the business each contribute to the secure operation of the business and its digital systems.
Chapter 3: Establish a Control BaselineCombs through control frameworks such as ISO 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to select controls providing a minimum viable program (MVP) for many businesses. It also details how to align people, process, and technology for these controls; how to scale the implementation for different types of businesses; and how to sure share responsibility for delivering the controls with third parties.
Chapter 4: Simplify and Rationalize IT and Security
Argues that security leaders have a stake in developing an effective IT strategy, what that strategy might look like, and how security leaders - who don't own IT - can still engage IT functions to help develop and deliver on the strategy.
Chapter 5: Manage Risk in the Language of BusinessClarifies why risk management literally must be the brains of the security program. It must analyze, monitor, and communicate what potential losses or circumstances constitute the business's top risk scenarios. An effective tiered risk analysis process can efficiently address the myriad secondary risk issues that arise through processes and prioritize controls or other risk treatments.

Chapter 9: Institute Resilience, Detection, and Response
Guides readers on how to formulate contingency plans and strategies for detection, response, and recovery which together comprise cyber-resilience.
Chapter 10: Putting the Pieces Together
