Читать книгу Cybersecurity and Decision Makers - Marie De Fréminville - Страница 5

Foreword

Directors and executives are now at the heart of cybersecurity issues. This is my conviction; this is my experience gained by launching one of the first cybersecurity companies in 2005 and by meeting many executives. This is my conviction as the director of a defense company that is particularly exposed to these risks, as well as active in the development of new protection strategies.

Let us make this expertise a driving force for differentiating our companies and France as a safe place to do business. This is where this book written by Marie de Fréminville takes on its full importance.

It brings together five years of work and exchanges between experts and leaders, between the State and industrial actors who forge our conviction that the issue of cybersecurity can no longer remain confined to the circles of geeks, but that it has become a real issue of economic resilience.

The issue is obviously much broader, and corporate governance must address it in all its dimensions: economic resilience, vulnerability of extended business strategies, customer protection, human issues, infrastructure development, insurance policy, crisis management, etc.

The general management and its board of directors must not only be aware of this, but must also each act according to its own responsibility, in order to set up the necessary organizations, risk governance, as well as the company’s protection systems. It is this “call to consciences” that must resonate with the reader, who must then find appropriate solutions: this book will provide you with possible solutions and will enlighten you on the risks to be taken into account to inform your decisions.

As they say in the shift changeover: now it’s up to you to take care of it…
