About the Book

A no-jargon cybersecurity guide for business leaders. Learn why small businesses are prime targets, how to reduce risk, and what to ask your IT team. Real-world inspired stories and CEO checklists turn cybersecurity into a strategic advantage.

Book Synopsis

In today's digital world, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue; it's a business survival issue. Cybersecurity for CEOs is a clear, no-jargon guide explicitly designed for time-strapped business leaders who can't afford to get lost in the weeds.

Whether you're running a 20-person law firm or a fast-growing SaaS company, this book will show you how to lead on security without becoming a technical expert. You'll learn why small businesses are prime targets, what the most common threats look like, and how to turn cybersecurity from a cost center into a competitive advantage.

Inside, you'll find real-world inspired stories, industry stats, and executive-friendly frameworks to help you:

• Understand what hackers want and how they get in
• Evaluate your company's actual cyber risk (it's probably higher than you think)
• Ask the right questions of your IT team or MSP
• Build a security culture that empowers employees instead of blaming them
• Create a smart, sustainable cybersecurity budget
• Prepare for worst-case scenarios with an incident response plan you hope you never need

Each chapter ends with a "CEO Action Checklist" so you can take meaningful steps, even if cybersecurity has always felt out of your wheelhouse.

Cybersecurity for CEOs is more than a book. It's your roadmap to peace of mind, operational resilience, and leadership confidence in an increasingly dangerous digital landscape.
