What People are Saying About This

John Guo

"Cybersecurity Management presents a framework that delineates the drivers and outcomes of cybersecurity strategy by creating cyberthreat classifications, identifying limitations of cybersecurity resources, and articulating processes that strengthen organizational cybersecurity posture. The book's pedagogical case studies and interactive exercises engage students in the learning process and will significantly enhance the learning experience for students."

Jeffrey Voas

"In today's environment consumed by never-ending cybersecurity threats, Cybersecurity Management is a 'must-read.' It's an excellent introduction to cybersecurity and data privacy. Business and management students, as well as other business professionals (who are trying to mitigate risks in their enterprises), will gain a clear overview of the global stakes associated with domestic and nation-state cybercrime. It is easy to read, comprehensive, well documented, and well written."

Scott J. Shackelford

"The breadth of topics covered in Cybersecurity Management is certainly impressive, ranging from economics and geopolitics to smart cities. I appreciate the chapter on cybersecurity and privacy, along with the book's pedagogical resources, including short cases at the end of each chapter and the NIST cybersecurity framework discussion."
