Description

Through in-depth analysis of issues like technical focus, quick fixes, succession of leaders, and distrust between stakeholders, 'The Cybersecurity Spiral of Failure' unravels why cybersecurity practices in large firms have stagnated for 20 years despite massive investments. Jean-Christophe Gaillard, an experienced strategic advisor and global cybersecurity thought leader, contends that problems stem not from lack of money or awareness, but from cultural acceptance of short-term thinking and treating security as an add-on rather than a priority. Using real-world examples, 'The Cybersecurity Spiral of Failure' shows how crises prompt knee-jerk decisions that undermine long-term success. It argues the solution lies not in new products but in examining past failures, gaining stakeholder buy-in, and executing cohesive plans over the mid to long-term. Security leaders will find practical guidance on assembling empowered teams, articulating visions, and maintaining momentum even when priorities shift. For top executives seeking to break patterns of frustration and breach, this book offers a blueprint for establishing a governance model that protects the organization for years to come.
