Why CISOs Fail 2nd Edition

Bold, clear, and urgently relevant, Why CISOs Fail 2nd Edition by Barak Engel confronts the toughest reality in modern cybersecurity: technical skill alone won’t save an organization. This updated edition delivers hard-earned lessons and pragmatic strategies for leaders responsible for safeguarding information across enterprises in North America, Europe, APAC, and beyond.

Engel combines real-world case studies, actionable frameworks, and leadership techniques to help CISOs, security managers, and board members turn vulnerability into resilience.

You’ll walk away with practical tools for aligning security with business goals, improving stakeholder influence, quantifying risk in business terms, and building a security culture that sticks.
