Solving Cyber Risk distills a decade of research into a practical framework for cyber security. Blending statistical data and cost information with research into the culture, psychology, and business models of the hacker community, this book provides business executives, policy-makers, and individuals with a deeper understanding of existing future threats, and an action plan for safeguarding their organizations. Key Risk Indicators reveal vulnerabilities based on organization type, IT infrastructure and existing security measures, while expert discussion from leading cyber risk specialists details practical, real-world methods of risk reduction and mitigation.
By the nature of the business, your organization's customer database is packed with highly sensitive information that is essentially hacker-bait, and even a minor flaw in security protocol could spell disaster. This book takes you deep into the cyber threat landscape to show you how to keep your data secure.
* Understand who is carrying out cyber-attacks, and why
* Identify your organization's risk of attack and vulnerability to damage
* Learn the most cost-effective risk reduction measures
* Adopt a new cyber risk assessment and quantification framework based on techniques used by the insurance industry
By applying risk management principles to cyber security, non-technical leadership gains a greater understanding of the types of threat, level of threat, and level of investment needed to fortify the organization against attack. Just because you have not been hit does not mean your data is safe, and hackers rely on their targets' complacence to help maximize their haul. Solving Cyber Risk gives you a concrete action plan for implementing top-notch preventative measures before you're forced to implement damage control.

"Solving Cyber Risk brings a technical subject to life using entertaining and poignant parallels to historical warfare. It also makes a compelling argument for the use of counterfactual analysis of past cyber events, to help us protect the digital economy from the cyber aggressors of the future. The authors make the case for cyber resilience and give business leaders practical advice to embed cyber-aware culture in their organisation."
-Domenico del Re, Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Before we can begin to address the serious risks that accompany the modern world's increasing dependence on networked computer systems we have to understand them, and this is the key achievement of Solving Cyber Risk. Anyone reading the book will come away better able to assess, quantify, and reduce the risks faced by their business."
-Bill Thompson, Technology writer and BBC presenter
"Is your organisation cyber-resilient? Are your services? Are you? Starting from practical assessments of how a security breach could damage the organisation, this comprehensive review of the current risk landscape will tell you why it matters, how to assess your own performance, and how to improve it."
-Andrew Cormack, Former Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) manager
"The essential handbook for anyone that wants to understand the cyber risks facing their business. The authors draw on decades of experience in cyber, insurance and modelling to provide the essential context for the range of potential threats and losses, today and in the future, providing real life case studies and practical advice for assessing and managing the risks."
-Matthew Grant, Founder and Executive Director, Abernite Ltd.
"Whoever feels overwhelmed by the sheer amount of unsorted information - around cyber risk, the uncertainties of managing this risk and its questioned insurability (which I do not share) - should read this book. It helps to ringfence the key issues by classifying, weighting and prioritizing cyber related decisions. It is good for IT security professionals to get familiar with risk management framework and it is equally helpful for risk management professionals to break down the complexity of 'cyber' and focus on the essentials."
-Simon Dejung, Senior Underwriter, SCOR
