About this listen

A ground shaking exposé on the failure of popular cyber risk management methods.

How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk exposes the shortcomings of current "risk management" practices, and offers a series of improvement techniques that help you fill the holes and ramp up security. In his best-selling book How to Measure Anything, author Douglas W. Hubbard opened the business world's eyes to the critical need for better measurement. This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. This book sheds light on these blatant risks and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security. Dangerous risk management methods abound; there is no industry more critically in need of solutions than cybersecurity. This book provides solutions where they exist, and advises when to change tracks entirely.

  • Discover the shortcomings of cybersecurity's "best practices"
  • Learn which risk management approaches actually create risk
  • Improve your current practices with practical alterations
  • Learn which methods are beyond saving, and worse than doing nothing

Insightful and enlightening, this book will inspire a closer examination of your company's own risk management practices in the context of cybersecurity. The end goal is airtight data protection, so finding cracks in the vault is a positive thing - as long as you get there before the bad guys do. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk is your guide to more robust protection through better quantitative processes, approaches, and techniques.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I don't think this works as an Audible book.

Whilst the high level content recognises that there's a gap in how risk is measured (by that I mean, what do we score the likelihood of attack?), it also includes too much formula for quantive risk calculations and listening to this becomes an overload of information, which didn't work for me. If I was the publisher I would pull this audible book and ask for it to be rewritten with this media in mind.

Blatant money grab from D Hubbard

if you're familiar with Hubbard's How to Measure anything, you don't need or want this book. you're not missing anything. the same techniques are used, in fact, it's even called out in one of the earlier chapters. Hubbard actually has the cheek to tell you it's the same as his other book and that he sees Cyber Security as a lucrative market. All of the models used are subjective estimates, there's no silver bullet in this book compared to his other book.

My mistake

Thought this was on cyber security risk but it was on risk prediction.
May I sujest find these people and jail them for one of the most dangerous book on earth for making listeners want to self harm
The nirator must have been drugged to perform this dribble not recommended waste of credit
