The Fundamentals of Adopting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the first book from the Institute’s Digital Value Management System series. It takes business leaders and stakeholders on a journey into a world where the ever-changing cyber threat landscape intersects with digital business risk, and where the NIST Cybersecurity Framework helps organizations build the capabilities to Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover from a cyberattack.
The publication also introduces the reader to the concept of a Digital Value Management System® (DVMS), a unified, evidence-driven governance system that aligns leadership, structure, and behavior to deliver measurable digital business value, resilience, and audit-ready assurance
Organizations today are composed of interconnected technologies, cloud services, data pipelines, software platforms, frameworks, governance domains, and workflow processes, all operating alongside human and AI actors. In this environment, risk no longer resides within isolated components; it emerges at the boundaries where systems, dependencies, and decisions interact.
A Practitioner’s Guide to Building Operational Cyber-resilience is a body of knowledge publication that teaches ITSM, GRC, Cybersecurity, Audit, and Business Practitioners how to design, implement, and operationalize a unified, evidence-driven governance system that aligns leadership, structure, and behavior to deliver measurable digital business value, resilience, and audit-ready assurance
Thriving on the Edge of Chaos is a must-read for leaders, regardless of organizational size or sector, who seek to master navigating volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) in a digital ecosystem. This book transcends technical disciplines, offering a universal approach for fostering adaptability, driving innovation, and building resilience in a rapidly changing digital ecosystem.
At its heart, the book highlights the critical role of organizational culture as the “glue” that binds strategy, leadership, and execution, ensuring sustainable performance, resilience, accountability, and audit readiness across complex digital ecosystems. Through actionable insights and real-world examples, it equips leaders with the knowledge to embrace complexity, harness disruption, and confidently manage a digital world that demands constant reinvention.
