To address this complexity and variability, we need the knowledge, mechanisms, and means to accurately prioritize initiatives, measure risk, and evaluate proposed solutions. This book enables the reader to confidently move forward in a cybersecurity landscape that grows in complexity daily.”

But in order to smartly manage it, CISOs must first quantify their risk. This book arms the CISO of the future with the tools needed to make business relevant decisions. These tools will empower leaders to build organizational cybersecurity resilience against an ever-changing cyber risk landscape.”

This book is equally valuable for technical security practitioners, risk and compliance professionals as well as security leaders. It provides not only concepts but an essential roadmap for measuring risk, developing metrics, and determining return on investment. I recommend anyone looking for a scientific approach for measuring cybersecurity risk to take advantage of Doug Hubbard and Richard Seiersen’s expertise on this topic. “
