Cyberfiduciary: Navigating SEC Mandates for Cybersecurity book cover

CyberfiduciaryNavigating SEC Mandates for Cybersecurity

Cristina Dolan & Seth James Nielson, PhD

Cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue—it is a fiduciary responsibility. A concise, board-level guide to SEC cyber disclosure rules, governance frameworks, and defensible oversight for directors and executives.

Testimonials

“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

“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
