The Digital Big Bang

"For the busy CISO, The Digital Big Bang is a gift of time, which is our most limited resource. This book was comparable to having a private discussion with 33 interdisciplinary cybersecurity leaders (our equivalent of experts in varied fields of scientific research) at a place and time convenient to me." —Jim Motes, CISO, Gamestop "The Digital Big Bang is the collective wisdom of leading CISOs and experts. It elucidates cybersecurity like a science with connections to digital advancements moving towards the future." —Dr. Ho Pui-Tak, Director of IT Services, The University of Hong Kong We need to treat cybersecurity like a science. The digital big bang is an explosion of bits, and the birth of what's becoming the digital age. Everything in our cyber universe is centered around the core elements of speed and connectivity, like the cosmic universe is centered around matter, gravity, and time. In the science of cybersecurity, we need to identify the fundamental elements, how they relate to one another, and work with them scientifically. Today's cybersecurity leaders featured in The Digital Big Bang use hypotheses and observation to reach conclusions in cybersecurity that will empower us to thrive in the Digital Age.
