Innovation is the lifeblood of growing businesses. Indeed, it is
difficult to sustain business growth without innovation. Innovation
may take many forms: technical advances, new products or
manufacturing processes, new applications of established products,
new channels to market, new marketing techniques based on social
media, or the development of unexploited markets. In commercial
terms, the end product of innovation is intellectual property (IP)
which can be packaged with copyright, registered with a unique
trademark and then patented. The aim of Growing Business Innovation
is to take the directors and corporate officers of success-driven
businesses with defined innovation objectives on the journey from
research to marketable product, to creating, managing and onwards
to marketing and monetisation of their innovation's IP.

The first edition, published November 2016, was targeted at the
directors and senior managers of SMEs and larger organisations that
have not yet paid sufficient attention to cybersecurity and
possibly did not appreciate the scale or severity of permanent risk
to their businesses. The book was an important wake-up call and
primer and proved a significant success, including wide global
reach and diverse additional use of the chapter content through
media outlets. The new edition, targeted at a similar readership,
will provide more detailed information about the cybersecurity
environment and specific threats. It will offer advice on the
resources available to build defences and the selection of tools
and managed services to achieve enhanced security at acceptable
cost. A content sharing partnership has been agreed with major
technology provider Alien Vault and the 2017 edition will be a
larger book of approximately 250 pages.

arena, Reuvid highlights successes and failures of operating in

'Managing Cybersecurity Risk is a comprehensive and engrossing
guide for organizations of any size' --Infosecurity Magazine
Everything you need to know to protect from and react to a cyber
attack Cybersecurity risk is an increasingly key topic to all those
engaged in business and commerce. Widely reported and increasing
incidents of cyber invasion have contributed to the growing
realisation that this is an area all businesses should understand,
be prepared for and know how to react when attacks occur. While
larger corporates now pay close attention to defending themselves
against cybersecurity infringement, small to medium businesses
remain largely unaware of the scale and range of threats to their
organisations. The aim of Managing Cybersecurity Risk is to provide
a better understanding of the extent and scale of the potential
damage that breaches of cybersecurity could cause their businesses
and to guide senior management in the selection of the appropriate
IT strategies, tools, training and staffing necessary for
prevention, protection and response. Foreword by Baroness Pauline
Neville-Jones, Chair of the Advisory Panel on Cyber Security and
contributors include Don Randall, former Head of Security and CISO,
the Bank of England, Ray Romero, Senior Assistant Director,
Division of Information Technology at the Federal Reserve Board and
Chris Gibson, Director of CERT-UK.
