Why do I need a book on cyber security?

Many business owners see cybersecurity as a big, scary (or boring) word they would do anything to avoid. For many, it creates that same stomach-crunching, heart in your throat feeling they get when they visit the dentist.

That feeling often stems from the unknown and from years of fear-mongering from any IT companies. So, cybersecurity remains somewhat of a fringe topic, often pushed aside for “more interesting” subjects like sale, marketing and operations. After all, no business owner wants to contemplate the horror scenarios their bsuiness or lives could face in the event of a breach, especially when they could be focussing on how to grow their business instead.

The goal of this book is to demystify cybersecurity, make it digestible, and, at the risk of pushing it too far, maybe even exciting.
