Threats and Tradeoffs: Build Security into the Business

In an era where digital systems drive growth, innovation, and customer trust, cybersecurity has become a core business responsibility. Threats and Tradeoffs: Build Security into the Business provides a practical and strategic guide for organizations seeking to protect critical assets without slowing progress or innovation.
This book explores how modern cyber threats directly impact revenue, reputation, compliance, and operational continuity. It examines the real tradeoffs leaders face when balancing security, cost, usability, and performance—and why treating cybersecurity as a purely technical issue often leads to expensive failures. Rather than focusing only on tools or checklists, the book emphasizes risk-based decision-making aligned with business objectives.
Inside this book, readers will learn:
• How cybersecurity risks translate into measurable business impact
• How to prioritize security investments based on real-world threats
• How to integrate security into business processes and culture
• How leaders and technical teams can collaborate effectively
• How to shift from reactive defenses to proactive risk management
Written in a clear, business-focused, and actionable style, this book is ideal for executives, managers, founders, IT leaders, and cybersecurity professionals. It empowers readers to embed security into the business itself—transforming cybersecurity from a cost center into a source of resilience, trust, and competitive advantage.
