ABSTRACT

The evolution of cybersecurity focuses on how cyber evolved to become the #1 business issue and why now more than ever, everyone in the organization has to work together to be cyber resilient holistically. Organizations and roles are evolving along with the sophistication of attacks. As threats evolve, so should the business' cybersecurity program—the people, process, tools, and insurance. This chapter introduces the gravity of cybersecurity as the topic on the top of everyone's mind.

Cyber is a business issue. All employees are stakeholders. Cyber evolved out of information technology, and the days of mystifying boards, business owners, and those that have the most at stake are over! This book is about getting you up to speed on cybersecurity and understanding how you can change the game by increasing your organizations' cyber resilience. Why is cyber the #1 business issue? Let's look at the influence of the internet, regulation, and technology to get the full picture.
