Pre-release discount: Practical risk management using the NIST CSF 2.0

Dearest subscriber,

I’m pleased to announce that my new book, The NIST 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework: Practical Risk Management Using Real-World Incidents, is now available for pre-order from Wiley (and wherever books are sold) at a 20% pre-release discount for a limited time.

The book is designed to help organizations move beyond cybersecurity theory and focus on the practical fundamentals of cyber risk management — the controls, governance, identity management, monitoring, incident response, and operational disciplines that repeatedly determine whether real-world attacks succeed or fail.

Rather than treating cybersecurity as an abstract compliance exercise, the book uses major incidents and breaches to show how foundational security failures continue to create outsized risk for enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure operators.

Topics include:

• Real-world case studies from Microsoft, Ticketmaster, MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, and other organizations that illustrate practical applications of the NIST framework
• Implementation guidance covering all six NIST functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, and Govern
• Chapter summaries and quizzes that reinforce learning objectives and help readers assess their understanding
• Clear and concise explanations of how to achieve the outcomes articulated across the NIST categories and subcategories

For organizations interested in workforce training, executive education, or enterprise-wide cyber awareness initiatives, the book can also be custom-tailored for bulk programs and institutional deployments.

Available options include:

• Bulk discount pricing for print, digital, eBook, and audiobook formats
• Company or institutional branding, including logos and custom forewords
• Additional pages or tailored messaging for internal initiatives
• Custom mini-books using selected portions of the content
• Curated collections of titles for cybersecurity upskilling and training
• Licensing for learning management systems (LMS) and online training environments
• Global fulfillment and enterprise delivery support

If you are interested in bulk orders, training programs, or customized editions for your organization, feel free to contact me directly.

And if you’d simply like to support the work, you can pre-order the book here:
