Publishes short easy-to-read guide “Information Security for Executives” so non-technical leaders and others can learn how to defend against cyberattacks.
ERIE, PA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As fear rises over breaches from AI-enhanced attacks, a new book offers executives practical guidance on how to more effectively prepare for and resist cyberattacks. Short and readable, “Information Security for Executives” addresses attacks from AI, nation-states, cyber-criminal syndicates, and other threat actors.
The book helps busy executives to: 1) quickly grasp the essentials of effective information security, 2) spot issues before they escalate, and 3) strengthen security governance and risk management to reduce or eliminate the impact of cyber incidents.
“Many executives don’t know the real status of security in their organizations until they get blindsided by cyberattacks,” says the author, Fred Igbeare, a cybersecurity and technology expert with over 20 years of experience at Fortune 500 and other organizations.
“I wrote the book so even non-technical executives can readily understand how to determine the real status of security in their organizations. No tech background needed! I then show how they can stay proactive with corrective measures and keep their organizations alert and resilient to cyberattacks,” he adds.
The author is also a recipient of the Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism at Columbia University. A former adjunct professor, he holds multiple leading industry certifications
Lessons From Other Companies’ Costly Mistakes
“Information Security for Executives” examines different examples of high-cost cyberattacks. Told as cautionary tales, the examples show how startling lapses in judgment left organizations vulnerable to devastating, bottom-line-damaging breaches. The stories reveal how easily organizations are caught off guard and how leaders can avoid making similar mistakes.
“Leaders have their hands full working to achieve their respective organizations’ missions, goals and objectives,” Mr. Igbeare says. “I wrote this book to make their lives easier. The book is intentionally short—a quick read. Its key lessons and nuggets empower executives to better leverage cybersecurity to resist emerging threats including AI-driven risks,” he notes.

Drawing on his extensive experience and on-the-ground research, the author offers:
• Practical frameworks for governing and managing security more effectively
• Proven measures to integrate security into organizational processes for improved alertness and resilience
• Strategies for using cybersecurity to reduce costs and open new business opportunities
• Proactive steps to prevent attacks or limit their damage
