What Readers are Saying
“[Cyber War…And Peace is] an analogical thinking Rosetta Stone, translating lessons from the past into cyber risk insights today.”
“It is very rare to find a seasoned security, risk, and privacy executive who can successfully combine storytelling, historic military leadership analogies, and technology and management challenges into a very compelling, readable, and relevant reference book that reads like a novel. Most importantly, rather than teaching the reader how to “do” security, privacy, and risk management, Nick describes how to “think” about it and stay in front of the challenges and ever-changing landscape.”
“The book goes beyond theory to teach adaptability as a security superpower. Drawing lessons from Napoleon’s Austerlitz strategy, Nick shows how CISOs can manage chaos by knowing when to stand firm and when to maneuver with precision. He illustrates how guile, timing, and flexibility are essential tools for navigating today’s high-stakes threat landscape.”
