CISO DRG Publishing is proud to announce the publication of Cyber Crisis Response:  Leveraging the SONAR Method to Accelerate Response and Recovery, by Andrew Gorecki and Christopher Scott.

In Cyber Crisis Response, Andrew and Chris introduce The SONAR Method™, a proven, proprietary framework they developed through years of being on the front line, responding to cyber crises as the unfold. Andrew and Chris have lived in the trenches of crisis response, this book describes many of the common pitfalls and their battle-tested solutions. There is no better way to learn than to do it yourself, but understanding the lessons others have learned is essential to help you prepare.

Crisis response is a complex undertaking that requires the coordination of multiple, often conflicting, activities. No playbook replaces experience and critical thinking. Using The SONAR Method will help any practitioner:

• Understand how to stabilize an environment during a cyber attack
• Learn how to organize the team and resources needed to resolve the situation
• Facilitate negotiations across a wide variety of stakeholders involved in the crisis
• Discover how to effectively articulate and communicate the situation and resolution to a broad range of stakeholders
• Develop the specific action plan required to remediate and recover from the incident

With a foreword written by George Kurtz, President/CEO and co-founder of CrowdStrike, Cyber Crisis Response is the essential resource for you to up your game and respond with confidence when the inevitable cyber crisis strikes.

Available for immediate sale, Matt, Gary, and Bill congratulate Andrew and Chris. Well done, gentlemen!

CISO DRG Publishing is pleased to announce publication of the second edition of The Essential Guide to Cybersecurity for SMBs: Practical Advice for CISOs at Small and Medium Size Businesses, by Gary Hayslip, co-founder of CISO DRG Publishing.

Gary wrote the first edition of The Essential Guide to Cybersecurity for SMBs in February of 2020, and this book has been a wonderful resource to cybersecurity professions and small and medium size businesses. If the three years since the first edition came out have taught us anything, it’s that smaller firms now have just as big a target and the experience Gary shares has never been timelier.

The second edition has been updated with new insights and updated references. Congratulations, Gary, and thank you for updating this important work.
