This book is a recipe for our generation to educate and warn us about cyber threats that exist and will exist in our future. The chapters are like notes and the book is the entire song about cybersecurity." -<strong>Jake and Luke Crudgington, Marc's sons </strong></p><p> </p><p>"The existence of deliberate and consequential threats and attacks on corporate data and intellectual property is indisputable. In order to thwart malicious actors, corporations must use cyber defense resources strategically, with full recognition and support from the Board and C-level. Furthermore, as network boundaries continue to become blurred with cloud and mobile computing, the attack vectors extend beyond corporate assets to personal compute devices and accounts; and these must also be considered...this book covers these topics and how to address them in detail." -<strong>Gerard Smith, Technical Architect, Shell Oil Company</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"If I had to summarize Marc's book in one sentence I would say 'Welcome to the day in the life of a CISO'. These are all things that keep a CISO up at night. Many of these chapters are challenges our profession continues to fight and I especially like the way Marc paints the cybersecurity landscape. It's a big canvas and we need buy-in and support at the highest level. I think every person, especially at the executive level will find value in reading this book and many will find it astonishing. As Marc alludes to in the end, the challenges for CISOs are not going away and the future cyberwar, might be already going on." -<strong>Alvin Mills, VP Information Technology & Security, Texas Bankers Association</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"One of the greatest threats facing our nation, our businesses, our way of life is Cybersecurity Wars. This book is most practical and educational book on the market regarding Cybersecurity and a must read for all company Executives, Board members, Business owners, Managers, all employees and even parents. We are all very fortunate to have Marc Crudgington, CISO share his extensive knowledge and personal experiences over his long career to help educate and hopefully minimize the security risk to all companies and individuals." -<strong>Gene Janiszewski, CEO Paradigm Group and former CIO</strong></p><br>
