We categorize our books by series…
The books in our Foundation Series, which includes the iconic CISO Desk Reference Guide, Volumes 1 and 2, do the heavy lifting for the CISO role, from assessing your program to becoming more resilient and developing a strategic plan. The CISO Desk Reference Guide was published as a two-volume set. The Executive Primer is written to include the CISO’s colleagues and provide a C-suite perspective for both the security function and security executives. These books were written by the founders, Bill, Gary, and Matt.
The Practitioner Series is intended for the CISO, their direct staff, and all practitioners of cybersecurity in the firm who need to understand critical processes at an in-depth level. The Essential Guide to Cybersecurity for SMBs is written by Gary Hayslip for leaders tasked with protecting small enterprises. It is composed of 22 essays sharing the lessons Gary has learned through his experience working for larger and smaller firms. For executives and managers who are required to lead the response to cyber crises, we offer Cyber Crisis Response: Leveraging the SONAR Method™ to Accelerate Response and Recovery. This book was written by Andrew Gorecki and Christopher Scott, with a foreword by George Kurtz, Founder and CEO of Crowdstrike. Currently in development is a book that thoroughly covers the important topic of Application Security, which is expected to be out in the third quarter of 2024. Also in this series is Develop Your Cybersecurity Career Path, written by Gary Hayslip, Christophe Foulon, and Renee Small, goes in-depth about breaking into cyber at any level. Other titles are currently in development.
The Governance Series addresses topics such as privacy, vendor management, security compliance and other elements of sound cyber governance. The first book in the series, Data Privacy Program Guide, provides key insights and practical guidance for Chief Privacy Officers and privacy leaders throughout the organization. This book was written by Matt Stamper, along with David Goodman and Justine Phillips. We’ll be adding additional titles to this series over time; next up is a book to address vendor management and third-party risk.
The Small Business Series provides material essential for leaders without the resources of larger companies who still have valuable businesses to protect. There are three books in this series. Creating a Small Business Cybersecurity Program is written by Alan Watkins to help small businesses, typically with 50 to a few hundred employees, build their first formal program. Protect Your Business and Protect Your Practice are written for very small businesses and professional practices such as law offices, health care providers, and accountancies, respectively, and explain the basics to allow even the smallest companies and professional practices to better protect themselves from cyber threats. These books were written by Bill Bonney and David Goodman.
