Cyber War: One Scenario by Mark Lynd

A Cyberattack on America. Told as One Scenario

The cyberattack on America scenario is the framing readers and reviewers use most often when describing Mark Lynd's book Cyber War: One Scenario. The 72-hour scenario walks through a coordinated attack on US critical infrastructure across energy, water, transportation, healthcare, and financial services, written for the audiences that would be on the calls inside that scenario: boards, executives, regulators, policymakers, critical infrastructure operators, and the insurance and reinsurance leadership that underwrites the risk. Mark Lynd is a 5x CIO/CISO with Thinkers360 Top 10 global rankings across five disciplines simultaneously, US Army veteran of the 3rd Ranger Battalion and 82nd Airborne Division, and author of three published cybersecurity books. The cyberattack on America book draws on his direct enterprise and government advisory work, his 150+ facilitated executive tabletop exercises, and his operating experience as a CIO and CISO across organizations with critical infrastructure exposure. The book is not a vendor brief, fear-marketing document, or policy paper. It is an operational scenario written by a practitioner for executives who need to think clearly about coordinated infrastructure attack and what their leadership team has to do about it. The format steps through the 72 hours with the regulatory clocks, the press cycle, the executive coordination challenges, and the sector cascade dynamics that distinguish coordinated cyber warfare from a single-target incident. Mark speaks on the themes of Cyber War: One Scenario at critical infrastructure conferences, government and SLED events, insurance and reinsurance forums, defense and national security conferences, and board education sessions.
