Cybersecurity, Law & Governance: Protecting Organizations in 2025
Cybersecurity is no longer a technical issue managed only by IT departments. It is now a core element of corporate governance, legal compliance, and organizational resilience. Data breaches, ransomware, and digital espionage are global, continuous, and increasingly complex. The question for modern organizations is no longer whether an incident will occur — but how prepared they are to respond, mitigate damage, and uphold their legal and ethical responsibilities.
Cyber Security: Law and Guidance (Second Edition) provides a clear and practical framework for professionals who must navigate this new reality. It integrates legal obligations, operational defense, risk management, and board-level decision-making to help organizations protect data, people, and critical systems.
The book explores how cyber risk interacts with privacy law, employment practices, international security, IoT, and strategic leadership. It also examines corporate liability, incident response, and the evolving regulatory landscape — including updates in 2025 affecting data protection, online safety, and artificial intelligence governance.

- Understand the legal implications of digital decisions
- Anticipate emerging threats—not just react to them
- Build internal culture and policy around data responsibility
- Recognize that resilience is strategic, not operational
