Digital Defense
What You Should Know About Protecting Your Company’s Assets
Harvard Business School Press, 2003.
Digital Defense introduces a holistic approach to developing a corporate cybersecurity strategy that aligns cybersecurity activities with a company’s overall mission. One of the methods to accomplish this is requiring that every cybersecurity technology choice is linked to the specific business activities it protects. The book provides a common language for business managers and cybersecurity staff to collaborate and introduces a practical process for exploring how security technologies can facilitate innovative business opportunities.
