CYBERSECURITY: THE LINGUA FRANCA VOL 1
Cybersecurity is not just about hardware, software, policies, and procedures.
Cybersecurity is about leadership, governance, and trust.
First, you must trust the person.
Before you trust hardware.
Before you trust software.
Before you trust a template.
Before you trust an assessment.
Every organization now operates under constant cybersecurity pressure. Unseen threats test not only systems and plans, but judgment itself. In this environment, cybersecurity is no longer simply a technical concern—it is a leadership responsibility and a cornerstone of organizational resilience.
Written for business owners, executives, and board members, this book addresses those who carry accountability for cybersecurity outcomes, even if they never touch the technology. It steps away from tools and tactics and returns to first how authority is exercised, how risk is understood, and how executive decisions quietly shape security posture over time.
Raphael Warren is a retired Brigadier General and founder of Spartan Cyber Security, an executive cybersecurity governance firm. He advises business owners, executives, and boards on cybersecurity risk, governance, and resilience, including matters requiring attorney–client-privileged advisory coordination through Spartan principals. His work centers on leadership accountability and decision-making under pressure.
Volume I, The Lingua Franca, marks the beginning.
The Spartan Canon continues and evolves, as do the threats we face.
