Cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue--it is a fiduciary responsibility. The SEC's cybersecurity disclosure rules require public companies to report material cyber incidents within four business days and disclose how boards oversee cyber risk and governance. Cyberfiduciary is a concise, board-level guide for directors, executives, audit committees, and legal leaders navigating this new accountability. The book translates cyber risk into governance frameworks, disclosure-ready processes, and defensible oversight--helping boards protect enterprise value, investor trust, and regulatory credibility in an increasingly digital economy.
Seth James Nielson, PhD, is the Founder and CEO of Crimson Vista, Inc., where he scales a 25-year career in software engineering and cybersecurity into strategic governance and forensic solutions. A former researcher at Johns Hopkins and current faculty at UT Austin, he has led over 100 forensic investigations and authored multiple books on cryptography and cybersecurity. Cristina Dolan is a technology and cybersecurity executive who has served as an independent director on public company boards, including as audit committee chair and board-level cybersecurity and ESG expert. An MIT alumna, MIT Cybersecurity Fellow, and FBI InfraGard member, she advises directors and executives on cybersecurity governance
CyberFiduciary isn't a cybersecurity manual -- it's an accountability manifesto for digital leaderships. Dolan and Nielson effectively argue that cybersecurity is more fiduciary duty than technical punch-list. Bluntly, boards that can't govern digital risk aren't governing. Period.--Michael Schrage, Research Fellow at MIT Sloan School's Initiative on the Digital Economy and Board Advisor This book expertly conveys the challenges corporate directors face as cybersecurity threats evolve and pose increasingly material risks to corporations, their customers and their shareholders. More importantly it offers a clear path and actionable steps for directors, regardless of their technical experience, to provide expert oversight and meaningfully contribute to better outcomes.--David Hirsch, Former Chief of the Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit (CACU) within the SEC's Division of Enforcement, Partner at McGuireWoods
