Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

I didn't know much about the business side of Cybersecurity going into this book, but it gave me a better understanding of how to talk to executives about Cyber risks and how to get more for the security program.

I really like how the book touches upon various regional aspects; from different areas of focus to some of the shortcomings, and this is helpful to any level of reader – board, CEO, and the rest of the C-Suite.The chapter for boards is also an excellent read and simple to understand. I like that it provides key emphasis on how both the directors and management should be cyber aware, from their role in cybersecurity to helping board and non-cyber management understand cyber risk, to providing strategic direction in ensuring the organisation is cyber resilient.This is crucial especially in light of the release from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on their proposed new rules requiring U.S. public company boardroom disclosure of corporate directors with cybersecurity expertise, which happens to also align nicely with one of the topics highlighted in the book, “The CISO’s Seat at the Table”. Great work authors!

This is an excellent book written for the executives and the board- who are accountable for their business' cyber resilience and hygiene. If there's a corporate team huddle of the CxOs on agreeing to doing their part in cyber scrutiny and handling cyber risks, this book is apt, concise and answers the Why, What, How, and also the what not to do! I wish the authors also included a self-evaluation questionnaire of the CxO role-specific cyber awareness and actionable insights in fortifying themselves so that their business is cyber resilient!

I recently had a look at Building a Cyber Resilient Business from Packt and written by Dr Magda Chelly, Shamane Tan, and Hai Tran. This is an excellent guide that aligns the responsibilities of cyber security and resilient to the various C-level roles within an organization. It goes beyond the typical frameworks and tools for a more practical understanding. There are even some roles within this book that you would not think about their responsibilities for cyber resilience. This book is easy to follow with practical guidance and helpful information throughout. A must have for people that are in a leadership position within a company.

How would you define and communicate cyber risk to the board in terms of business impacts? This book creates a roadmap for c-suite and board comms around cyber risk. The authors define the roles and collaborative responsibilities of c-suite actors in the context of defining communicating and managing cyber risks effectively to build resilience and sustainable policies, procedures, controls and training. Chapter 1 contextualises cyber risks as being not just the CISO’s job, but encourages CISOs and CEOs to regularly reflect on how broader economic, political, social and environmental trends are impacting the organisation’s strategy.The chapter on building a strong and positive security culture discusses shaping collaboration and understanding between developers, security teams, and operational teams by promoting security by design; secure coding practices and robustness of a secure software development lifecycle are fundamental to promoting a DevSecOps culture within the organisation. I’d love to read more about how the authors view the role of human risk management within this context. Some great recommendations given include avoiding ‘blame and shame’ comms. This is critical to building a positive and inclusive security culture and the authors explain how crucial the involvement of the CMO and CHRO are in promoting engagement and inclusion, especially in relation to privacy regulation and legislation, such as The GDPR.Dr Magda Chelly has spoken widely about inclusion and engagement, and I was really interested in what she says about interactive, gamification of security and awareness training, especially how role-play activities like phishing email writing can help staff identify red flags by playing the role of the attacker to enable empathy and proceduralisation of training objectives, rather than submitting staff to a one-size-fits-all security training package.The ’Questions to ask your CEO/CISO, COO….’ as well as ‘Questions to as yourself, as a CEO’ sections within each chapter are really useful tools to promote productive and empathetic communication around cyber resilience, and ones I will definitely be referring to.
