(Apress - Springer Nature, 2016) Harkins, Malcolm W.
The book emphasizes a shift in cybersecurity thinking—from merely protecting systems to enabling business innovation. Harkins argues that risk is unavoidable in the digital world, so security strategies should focus on managing and mitigating risk rather than trying to eliminate it completely. He advocates for security approaches that support organizational goals, encourage collaboration, and empower users, while promoting a proactive, transparent risk culture. The modern CISO should be a strategic leader who balances protection with performance.
