Description

Praise for The Cyber Risk Handbook

"Domenic Antonucci and his outstanding collection of contributors have produced a most timely and comprehensive reference and teaching guide on one of the most potentially impactful and evolving risks facing organizations (and governments) today. This book should be an extremely valuable resource for directors, executives, chief information officers, risk managers, auditors, and all concerned with this critical topic. I particularly like how the risks and controls are presented in the context of overall governance and enterprise risk management."
—John R. S. Fraser, FCPA, FCA, Retired Chief Risk Officer and Adjunct Professor, York University

"Domenic makes a most practical and valuable contribution…he curates a wide-ranging body of knowledge on this most vexing topic from a globally diverse group of subject matter experts. Unlike books written by IT experts for IT practitioners, Mr. Antonucci provides an invaluable resource for management to enable them to ask the right questions of their IT experts … so as to assure themselves that the matters that should be keeping them awake at night are being addressed and that reporting systems are providing them with the management information they need to know rather than what they want to hear. Mr. Antonucci and his contributors are to be commended for their work."
—Kevin W. Knight, AM, Immediate Past Chairman, ISO/TC 262 – Risk Management and Adjunct Professor, University of Queensland Business School

"This timely cyber security reference guide, structured on a maturity model to aid comprehension of current capabilities, addresses what has become, for many organizations, their priority risk management activity. Cyber security is evolving in nature and becoming more prevalent, sophisticated, and invasive. The book rightly identifies cyber security as a C-Suite responsibility with enterprise-wide implications – not for delegation to the IT department. The way an organization addresses cyber-crime (as seen in the financial sector) has a direct bearing on its reputation, customer base, profitability, and indeed its very longevity."
—Dr. Robert Chapman, Managing Director, Dr. Chapman & Associates

"The Cyber Risk Handbook provides comprehensive and practical guidance. One of the key pluses of this book is its holistic focus on the importance of people, behavior, and processes, rather than just technological solutions. Domenic Antonucci has assembled a team of experts, all of whom are uniquely qualified to contribute to the ongoing discussion regarding this capricious and exponentially significant risk. I found The Cyber Risk Handbook an easy read, and I particularly liked the comprehensive overview of the key developments in cyber risk management. This book will appeal to a wide audience enabling them to learn solutions to critical issues and formulate a good practice methodology that ensures they stay ahead of the latest threats."
—Nicola Crawford, Chair, The Institute of Risk Management (IRM) and Managing Director, i-Risk Europe Ltd

"Very thorough and comprehensive. A wide variety of experts describing all facets of cyber risks … a necessary focus on top management involvement. Information and systems as the new risk frontier."
—Franck Baron, Chairman and VP, Pan Asia Risk & Insurance Management Association (PARIMA)
