Building a Cyber Framework
Building a Cyber Framework is an executive-level guide that offers a clear, actionable blueprint for strengthening cybersecurity through structured practices, not panic responses. Author Jeffrey Lush uses the metaphor of engaging 4WD before driving through rough terrain—emphasizing that cyber defense must be proactive, not reactive.
