The Cyber Readiness Playbook

The Cyber Readiness Playbook is a practical guide to help reduce cyber risk and defend against the most common cyber issues. This playbook is a part of the Cyber Readiness Institute’s Cyber Readiness Program and is based on best practices from leading cybersecurity experts. It includes strong cyber policies that empower employees with practical knowledge and guidance and a defined Business Continuity Plan to prepare organizations to best respond to an incident.
