Enterprise Cyber Risk Management as a Value Creator: Leverage Cybersecurity for Competitive Advantage

This book will help you learn the importance of organizations treating enterprise cyber risk management (ECRM) as a value creator, a business enabler, and a mechanism to create a competitive advantage. Organizations began to see the real value of information and information technology in the mid-1980s. Forty years later, it's time to leverage your ECRM program and cybersecurity strategy in the same way.

The main topics covered include the case for action with specific coverage on the topic of cybersecurity as a value creator, including how the courts, legislators, and regulators are raising the bar for C-suite executives and board members. The book covers how the board's three primary responsibilities (talent management, strategy, and risk management) intersect with their ECRM responsibilities.

ECRM was once solely focused on managing the downside of risk by defending the organization from adversarial, accidental, structural, and environmental threat sources. Author Bob Chaput presents the view that we must focus equally on managing the upside of cyber strengths to increase customer trust and brand loyalty, improving social responsibility, driving revenue growth, lowering the cost of capital, attracting higher quality investments, creating competitive advantage, attracting and retaining talent, and facilitating M&A work. He focuses on the C-suite and board role in the first part and provides guidance on their roles and responsibilities, the most important decision about ECRM they must facilitate, and how to think differently about ECRM funding. You will learn how to the pivot from cost-center thinking to value-center thinking.

Having built the case for action, in the second part, the book details the steps that organizations must take to develop and document their ECRM program and cybersecurity strategy. The book first covers how ECRM must be integrated into business strategy. The remainder of that part presents a sample table of contents for an ECRM Program and Cybersecurity Strategy document and works through each section to facilitate development of your own program and strategy. With all the content and ideas presented, you will be able to establish, implement, and mature your program and strategy.

What You Will Learn

• Read new information and treat ECRM and cybersecurity as a value creator
• Receive updates on legal cases, legislative actions, and regulations that are raising the stakes for organizations, their C-suites, and boards
• Think differently about funding ECRM and cybersecurity initiatives
• Understand the most critical ECRM decision that boards must facilitate in their organizations
• Use practical, tangible, actionable content to develop and document your ECRM program and cybersecurity strategy

"This book should be mandatory reading for C-suite executives and board members. It shows you how to move from viewing cybersecurity as a risk to avoid, and a cost center that does not add value and is overhead, to seeing cybersecurity as an enabler and part of your core strategy to transform your business and earn customer and stakeholder trust."

--Paul Connelly, First CISO at the White House and HCA Healthcare

這本書將幫助您了解組織將企業網絡風險管理（ECRM）視為價值創造者、業務促進者和創造競爭優勢的重要性。組織在20世紀80年代中期開始看到信息和信息技術的真正價值。四十年後，現在是時候以同樣的方式利用您的ECRM計劃和網絡安全策略了。

主要涵蓋的主題包括具體介紹網絡安全作為價值創造者的行動理由，包括法院、立法者和監管機構如何提高C級高管和董事會成員的要求。本書介紹了董事會的三個主要責任（人才管理、戰略和風險管理）如何與他們的ECRM責任相交織。

ECRM曾經僅僅關注通過防禦組織免受對手、意外、結構和環境威脅來管理風險的負面方面。作者Bob Chaput提出了一種觀點，即我們必須同樣關注管理網絡優勢的正面方面，以增加客戶信任和品牌忠誠度，提高社會責任感，推動收入增長，降低資本成本，吸引更高質量的投資，創造競爭優勢，吸引和留住人才，以及促進併購工作。他專注於C級高管和董事會在第一部分的角色，並提供了關於他們的角色和責任、他們必須促進的最重要的ECRM決策以及如何從成本中心思維轉變為價值中心思維的指導。您將學習如何從成本中心思維轉變為價值中心思維。

在第二部分中，本書詳細介紹了組織必須採取的步驟來制定和記錄其ECRM計劃和網絡安全策略。本書首先介紹了ECRM如何融入業務戰略。該部分的其餘部分提供了一個ECRM計劃和網絡安全策略文件的示例目錄，並逐節介紹每個部分，以促進您自己計劃和策略的制定。通過提供的所有內容和想法，您將能夠建立、實施和成熟您的計劃和策略。

您將學到什麼：
- 閱讀新信息，將ECRM和網絡安全視為價值創造者
- 掌握法律案例、立法行動和規定的最新動態，這些動態正在提高組織、C級高管和董事會的風險
- 以不同的方式思考ECRM和網絡安全的資金問題
- 理解董事會在組織中必須促進的最關鍵的ECRM決策
- 使用實用、具體、可操作的內容來制定和記錄您的ECRM計劃和網絡安全策略

"這本書應該成為C級高管和董事會成員的必讀之物。它向您展示了如何從將網絡安全視為需要避免的風險和不增加價值的成本中心，轉變為將網絡安全視為推動業務轉型、贏得客戶和利益相關者信任的核心策略的一部分。"
- Paul Connelly，白宮和HCA Healthcare的首位CISO

Bob decided to write this book to help facilitate the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) to better integrate into their businesses and interact with C-suite executives and board members. As happened when Chief Information Officers (CIO) began to 'earn a seat at the table decades ago, there is a significant communications gap between this newly discovered role, the C-suite, and the board. Bob's goal is to make CISOs and their boards successful in better understanding one another and better in managing cyber risks and opportunities. The aim of this book is to help close the communications gap by linking CISOs with the three main topics that boards deal with: talent management, strategy, and risk management.

Bob決定寫這本書是為了幫助促進首席信息安全官（CISO）更好地融入他們的企業，與C級高管和董事會成員互動。就像幾十年前首席信息官（CIO）開始“在桌子上爭得一席之地”一樣，這個新發現的角色、C級高管和董事會之間存在著重大的溝通差距。Bob的目標是使CISO和他們的董事會在更好地相互理解和更好地管理網絡風險和機遇方面取得成功。本書的目的是通過將CISO與董事會處理的三個主要主題（人才管理、戰略和風險管理）聯繫起來，幫助彌合溝通差距。
