The Normal Attack — Audiobook Description
Cybersecurity is often treated as a technical problem. But some of the most damaging cyber incidents do not begin with sophisticated exploits, obvious failures, or abnormal behaviour. They begin with something far more ordinary: trusted systems, legitimate access, routine decisions, automation, and assumptions that appear perfectly reasonable.
The Normal Attack examines the cyber risks that hide in plain sight and explores why organizations can experience serious incidents even when their systems appear secure, their processes are approved, and their people are following established procedures.
Written for Boards of Directors, CXOs, and enterprise leaders, this book reframes cybersecurity as a governance challenge. It examines the relationship between trust, accountability, delegated authority, automation, decision-making, and organizational resilience.
Rather than focusing on technical tools or security controls, The Normal Attack asks a more fundamental question: how do organizations think about risk before an incident occurs?
Drawing on practical observations from cybersecurity, governance, technology risk, and executive decision-making, Anand Bhatt explores how ordinary decisions and routines can gradually create significant exposure—and why leadership oversight must extend beyond compliance and reassurance.
The Normal Attack is for leaders who want to understand cyber risk not simply as a technical threat, but as a consequence of how organizations make decisions, assign trust, and govern increasingly digital enterprises
