This book is aimed at managerial decision makers, practitioners in any field, and the academic community. The chapter authors have integrated theory with evidence-based practice to go beyond merely explaining cybersecurity topics. To accomplish this, the editors drew upon the combined cognitive intelligence of 46 scholars from 11 countries to present the state of the art in cybersecurity. Managers and leaders at all levels in organizations around the globe will find the explanations and suggestions useful for understanding cybersecurity risks as well as formulating strategies to mitigate future problems. Employees will find the examples and caveats both interesting as well as practical for everyday activities at the workplace and in their personal lives. Cybersecurity practitioners in Computer Science, programming, or espionage will find the literature and statistics fascinating and more than likely a confirmation of their own findings and assumptions. Government policymakers will find the book valuable to inform their new agenda of protecting citizens and infrastructure in any country around the world. Academic scholars, professors, instructors, and students will find the theories, models, frameworks, and discussions relevant and supportive to teaching as well as research.

In Chapter “Cybersecurity Attack Case Studies, Lessons Learned,” D.V. Manjula, Aisshwarya Nallamilli state that the frequency of cyberattacks is rising gradually as technology advances. The authors argue that these attacks cause signifcant damage to businesses. The authors give examples of several cybersecurity measures currently used by organizations, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), virtual private networks (VPNs), frewalls, and other generic security measures. The authors also illustrate several case studies of cybersecurity attacks that will help decision makers in organizations. The chapter’s goal is to ensure that organizations learn from previous case studies of cyberattacks and avoid repeating similar attacks. This chapter should help decision makers to develop policies and prepare for potential cyberattacks.
