It goes far beyond the typical "best practices" playbook and dives into what truly matters today: adaptability, strategy reconstruction, and resilience in a constantly shifting threat landscape.
The author does an excellent job of blending real-world examples with actionable guidance. Whether you're dealing with legacy infrastructure or modernizing toward a Zero Trust model, there's something here for you. I especially appreciated the chapters on supply chain vulnerabilities and cyber resilience metrics—topics often overlooked but increasingly critical.
Highly recommended for cybersecurity professionals, architects, or IT leaders looking to sharpen their defense strategy in today’s evolving digital environment.
Thanks to recent inclement weather, I was able to read Resilient Cybersecurity quicker than I anticipated. The writing style was clear and made for an easy read. The book was great for a person in the mid-career phase. The book excelled at identifying and contextualizing all the elements of a quality cyber program. I would estimate a third of the material I was up to date on, a third was material I had encountered before but needed a review of, and the final third was material I had to sit and think about. So, there was plenty to learn. My three biggest take aways were technology moves much faster than I realized, identifying my areas for improvement, and the role GRC plays in a quality cyber program
After reading this book I realized just how difficult it is to stay up to date on all the latest trends and best practices. I knew ZTA was a topic of discussion, but I had no idea how mature the models had become. I knew identity was becoming the new cyber “border”, but I had no idea how advanced identity as a service had become (Microsoft Entra). In short, this book was a fantastic way to catch back up.
Resilient Cybersecurity covered a wide array of topics. As each of these topics make up part of a cyber program, I found it helpful in identifying the areas I need additional work. For myself, it is clear I struggle with identity and access management, and cybersecurity operations (SOC) activities. The book gave enough details on both topics to help guide future investigation.
Finally, GRC, an area I worked in for the last two years. I knew what GRC was coming into this, but there was still much to learn from this book. Without rewriting the book, I would simply say I was surprised at how well positioned the GRC team is to manage metrics and serve as the bridge to the executive leadership team.
Thank you for the book and I look forward to your future work.
Resilient Cybersecurity is a Great Read, as you navigate through this book you will be enlightened with how to learn about the evolving and ever changing flow of cybersecurity.The books gives very detailed information on emerging threats and how to protect and mitigate them. Information on AI will fascinate you, and show the possibility of future use. There are example of data breaches that happened in the past to prepare you on how to handle them and eradicate them. If you had a Skill sets for a while, this book will inform you if they are outdated and the fact that you may have to change or upgrade your skills. It also shows you that some of the previous cyber security positions have either been merged or eliminated.
New challenges have surfaced in the innovative hiring process that are addressed. Everything from building your own roadmap to create your own cyber security firm to user awareness,training and testing along with risk mitigation. This is one book that I found fascinating. A added jewel to your cybersecurity book library.
Excellent review for anyone looking to understand the complexities of digital security, how to protect against cyber threats, and build a strong cyber security program.
