Small Business Cybersecurity

Small Business Cybersecurity: Principles, Risk Management, and Practical Defense - Volume 2 helps small businesses detect threats, respond to cyber incidents, strengthen governance, and prepare for recovery. Written by Sallieu Kanu, Ph.D., it connects cybersecurity principles with the practical decisions facing business owners, managers, IT professionals, and students.

Detection, Response, Governance, and Recovery continues the two-volume work with Chapters 20-32, covering Parts IV-VI. Readers explore security operations, threat detection, logging, monitoring, incident response, digital forensics, business continuity, and disaster recovery. These topics help organizations prepare for disruptions and develop a coordinated approach to protecting essential operations.

The volume also examines governance, risk, and compliance frameworks; security policies; employee training; vendor and supply chain risk; and legal, regulatory, and privacy considerations. Further chapters address secure websites and applications, physical security, artificial intelligence, emerging cyber threats, cybersecurity budgeting, and professional development.

Six appendices provide resources readers can adapt to their organizations: policy templates, a sample incident report form, a twelve-month security awareness curriculum, a master glossary, further reading, and a minimum security baseline.

Designed for classroom use, independent study, and professional development, Volume 2 builds on the foundations, risk identification, and protective measures introduced in Volume 1. It helps readers connect technical safeguards, organizational responsibilities, and recovery planning to support stronger business resilience.
