If you’re responsible for protecting networks, cloud environments, or sensitive data in organisations across the UK, US, Europe or beyond, this book quickly makes the complex clear.

Packed with real-world scenarios and implementation-ready frameworks, the book guides readers through designing policies for hybrid offices, cloud services and third-party integrations. Practical checklists and decision points help you prioritise risks and map zero-trust controls to compliance, regulatory needs and operational realities in different regions and industries.
