Chapter Excerpts
The Pace of Change
"The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again." This quote from Chapter 1 captures the urgency facing leaders today. From 15 billion IoT devices in 2015 to an estimated 75 billion by 2025, the exponential growth of connected technology creates unprecedented security challenges. The book shows how to navigate this landscape without succumbing to fear.

Chapter 1 introduces the Futures Cone methodology—thinking like a futurist to prepare for what comes next. "Thinking like a futurist allows you to examine the current state of cybersecurity challenges to emerging technologies. It encourages you to visualize a secure digital future and to take strategic steps today towards making that future a reality."
AI and Machine Learning Security
Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive deep-dive into securing AI systems. From data poisoning attacks to adversarial machine learning, the chapter covers real-world examples including Microsoft's Tay chatbot that was corrupted by malicious users. The book offers practical frameworks for securing training data and protecting AI systems.

Chapter Excerpts
The Two Types of Companies
"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again." — Robert Mueller, former FBI Director. This stark reality frames the entire book. As a non-technical leader, understanding that breaches are inevitable—not hypothetical—is the foundation of modern cybersecurity leadership.
The 10 Commandments of Cyber Hygiene
From using different passwords for each website to enabling two-factor authentication, rejecting all cookie requests, and covering your webcam when not in use—these practical commandments form the backbone of personal cybersecurity. The book provides actionable steps for leaders to protect themselves and model good behavior for their organizations.
Social Media as a Battleground
"Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family, and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person's sense of self-worth." The book exposes how scammers exploit these platforms and provides 7 Safety Secrets for using social media safely.
What Readers Are Saying
"I found The Book on Cybersecurity to be engaging, with language that is clear, concise, and easy to follow. I particularly appreciate the practical tips and insights provided throughout the book. After reading the first few chapters, I was inspired to immediately fix a few things on my phone."
"In today's world, cybersecurity is no longer a niche topic. It is a crucial aspect of doing business, and the implications of not having a solid security strategy are far-reaching. The Book on Cybersecurity is an excellent resource for demystifying this important topic."
"I worked with Arnaud when he was CISO at TNT. Arnaud is a thought leader in the world of cybersecurity. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and has a proven track record of success as a CISO."
