Cyberattacks are more destructive than ever, but your C-suite can stop them. This book tells you how.Cyberattacks are worse now than ever before. To defeat cybercriminals, companies must focus on the low-hanging fruits of cybersecurity. It's all about the basics. Companies laid low by ransomware failed to practice good cyber hygiene by recklessly allowing weak or reused passwords, not turning on multifactor authentication, or neglecting to install patches to known software vulnerabilities.Adding insult to grievous injury, many companies failed to mitigate cyber doom by not encrypting their devices, not implementing a data backup plan, or the mother of all blunders, not training their workforce on basic cyber hygiene.Worse still, hidden risks abound for the unwary. A devastating cyberattack is just moments away when C-suite leaders close their eyes to the hazards of shadow IT, data offshoring, mobile devices, and social media.Mobilizing the C-suite: Waging War Against Cyberattacks was written to galvanize C-suite leaders into deploying the basic cybersecurity controls vital to defeating cyberattacks, and to support frontline cybersecurity professionals with companywide cyber hygiene training. Most importantly, the book was written to introduce real-world cybersecurity principles to college students-if our future generation of company leaders enter the C-suite with cyber-savvy, then destructive cyberattacks are not a foregone conclusion.

It's the hottest tech startup that nobody remembers. What went wrong? 3Com's game-changing technology helped make everything from the Internet, WiFi, and email part of our daily lives today. The company's charismatic founder invented the core networking technology that made it possible to connect every computer, tablet, and phone on the planet today-and later famously (and incorrectly) predicted the imminent death of the Internet. (you'll learn how he famously ate his own words.) 3Com's legacy paved the way for the networked lifestyle-from Facebook to spam-that define our lives today. More than just a history of a once-powerful tech powerhouse, you'll take away some key business lessons that are still relevant today. And you'll meet a kaleidoscopic cast of characters that bring to life how different personalities and leadership styles can shape the trajectory of any company striving for the brass ring. You'll hear stories-drawn from dozens of first-hand interviews with 3Com executives and competitors-featuring tech icons like Steve Jobs popping in and casually changing the world-and tales where international skullduggery (real or imagined) involving companies like Huawei, Palm, and 3Com's arch-rival Cisco is par for the course.Brilliant innovations, bungled mergers, record-smashing IPOs, and record-breaking financial "irregularities" are all part of the sweeping saga of 3Com's 30-year rollercoaster ride.
