Cybersecurity doesn’t begin and end with a company’s information security executives and staff.

See Yourself in Cyber: Security Careers Beyond Hacking is an easy-to-follow and expansive discussion of how everyone in an organization can meaningfully contribute to strengthening its cybersecurity infrastructure.

This book highlights the broad range of opportunities the industry offers to those with business, legal, communications, and other non-technical backgrounds, and how their skills can help to improve the cybersecurity infrastructure in a typical organization.

Filled with case studies, real-life examples, and interviews with accomplished business and technical leaders, See Yourself in Cyber is a must-read for anyone with a stake in improving cybersecurity, within an organization and across the world.

How we are different

• The book outlines the paradox of the lack of cybersecurity talent to fill open roles that leaders frequently lament, and the inability of entry-level job seekers to find roles. Adams offers practical suggestions for how leaders can address this issue within their organizations while developing the cybersecurity leaders of tomorrow.

• Using the analogy of the Cybersecurity Color Wheel, Adams explains modern roles and responsibilities of cybersecurity professionals and the way roles not directly associated with security can improve a company’s operations and reduce risk. He also discusses the leadership skills team members will require in each role as they interact with executives, managers, and other practitioners.

• In the book, Adams promotes improved security by suggesting the adoption of better diversity and inclusion policies and offers prescriptive, actionable guidance to managers and leaders who want to attract, build, retain, and develop diverse talent in cybersecurity.
