Critical infrastructure cybersecurity for the sixteen sectors that hold up the country.

Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity

Mark Lynd is the author of "Cyber War: One Scenario," a 72-hour scenario-based book that walks through a coordinated cyberattack on US critical infrastructure — the systems that fail first, the cascading failures across sectors, and the decisions made in operations rooms while the press conference clock is running. Mark served in the US Army (3rd Ranger Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division) before five tours as a CIO or CISO and carries that national-security perspective into every critical-infrastructure keynote, board briefing, and tabletop exercise. The frameworks below ground every engagement.
