The Illusion of Cyber Governance
Why Proof Matters More Than Protection
You don't have to understand IT to govern IT.
Most organizations believe they know how well they are protected. But belief is not evidence.
Written for CEOs, board members, executives, attorneys, auditors, risk professionals, and business leaders who carry responsibility for organizations that increasingly depend on technology.
The illusion is believing leadership must understand the technology before it can govern it.
Leaders already understand accountability, checks and balances, evidence, and verification. The book applies those familiar business disciplines to cybersecurity governance.
From confidence to evidence.
Assumption
Why organizations can become confident without independently knowing whether critical controls are working.
Accountability
Why leadership needs clear responsibility, evidence, and appropriate separation of duties.
Verification
Why governance becomes stronger when conclusions can be supported rather than simply repeated.
