This book is a great guide for leading the cybersecurity risk evaluation and mitigation process at your company. Not only does it give a map and templates for starting this work, but it gives the right amount of background and history to orient you in your efforts.

There were a few points where I felt the suggestions for increased security were a bit extreme; however, risk tolerance varies depending on the company and the individual and having various options is useful.

I would definitely recommend this book for any cybersecurity professional, but especially those interested in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and understanding and communicating risk in a simple, understandable fashion.

Definitely useful until near the end. It will assume that you are doing the three step program, which.. as someone who is trying to implement but still in research stage, this would be something that I would have to return to in the future once organization is ready to implement.
