About this listen

This book enables newcomers, business professionals as well as seasoned cybersecurity practitioners and marketers to understand and to explain the discipline to anyone. This book is not about technology and no technical knowledge or prior background is required to understand this book.

Cybersecurity involves people, policy, and technology. Yet most books and academic programs cover only technology. Hence the implementation of cybersecurity as a people powered perpetual innovation and productivity engine is not done. People think they can buy cybersecurity as a product when in fact the discipline is the modern practice of digital business strategy. People also equate cybersecurity with information security or security alone. However, security is a state, while cybersecurity is a process. Too many people equate cybersecurity with computer science when in fact cybersecurity is a business discipline.

Written and narrated by Dr. Mansur Hasib a globally acclaimed scholar, practitioner, and author with a Doctor of Science in cybersecurity and over ten years experience designing and running award-winning cybersecurity education programs on a global scale. The author also served as Chief Information Officer and implemented profitable digital transformations and cybersecurity strategy in healthcare, biotechnology, education, and energy for more than 30 years.

This book is widely acclaimed by practitioners and scholars alike as the definitive book on cybersecurity leadership and governance. Dr. Hasib is a sought after speaker and has won multiple global awards such as: 2020 Cybersecurity Champion of the Year; 2020 People's Choice Award in Cybersecurity; 2019 Best Cybersecurity Higher Education Program in the USA; 2019 Outstanding Global Cybersecurity Leadership; 2018 Best Cybersecurity Higher Education Program in the USA; 2018 Hall of Fame; 2017 People's Choice Award in Cybersecurity; 2017 Information Governance Expert of the Year; 2017 (ISC)2 Americas ISLA Award.

Good foundation for any business not just cyber security.

Good overview of IT and not just security. I wasn't sure at first but ended up really liking this book.

Happily surprised, many great takeaways

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this to colleagues involved with Cybersecurity. It was well written and organized. Often practical/technical books don't work well as audiobooks, but this one did. I also appreciated the academic manner in which he cited references. This was extremely helpful as it allowed deeper reading on the subject matter.

What other book might you compare Cybersecurity Leadership to and why?

It had the feel of non-fiction works by academics like Peter Drucker.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

One of my best takeaways was Dr. Hasib's definition of Cybersecurity. It does a great job of blending business and security in a manner that does not strike fear in executive management, but rather makes Cybersecurity a strategic partner in reducing risks to the business.

A fresh look at leadership for a changing world.

This is not simply a book advising on cyber security tactics or choosing technology controls. Dr. Hasib takes us deeper into what it means to be a leader and clears away many misconceptions between leadership and management. Additionally, as ethics and integrity directly impact an organization's level of risk these traits are a common theme throughout his book. I highly recommend Cybersecurity Leadership for anyone functioning in a leadership role.

Great Mentor, great book on Cybersecurity

I bought the audio version and at such a good price. Listened to it and the narration was done by my Mentor himself. Well written book with special citation for those that have citation challenges. Think about this: don't plan to be a leader without this book. Beyond the cyber ecosystem, its a must have for all.

A Paragon!

Dr. Mansur’s Cybersecurity Leadership has done a great deal incorporating cybersecurity into organizational leadership, and business management. This book has solved the puzzle of many who are trying to understand how cyber security fits into business purposes by explaining the three parts of cybersecurity that are critical for business success ( technology, policy, and people). Other key qualities extensively discussed include: the importance of personnel integrity, accurately defining job roles (understanding the difference between technical and non-technical security executives for effective business management), and creating an enterprise security dogma that makes everyone responsible for security in their organization. This book will be of great help for leaders trying to build a formidable security that fits into their organization’s business purposes.
