– Read the book
Cybersecurity for Accounting and Business, a new book co-authored by Nancy Bagranoff, Professor at University of Richmond, and Scott R. Boss, Associate Professor at Bentley University, explicates the cybersecurity concepts that students will need to be familiar with in their business careers.
The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of cybersecurity, including technologies, threats, and vulnerabilities. The second portion explores how businesses manage risk with technologies and company-wide frameworks. The remainder of the book examines the legal environment, geopolitics and privacy.
The use of System and Organization Control (SOC II) reports for cybersecurity assurance has become a standard business practice. These audits must be prepared by CPAs. Consequently, the CPA exam now tests knowledge of cybersecurity. This textbook covers key cybersecurity topics accountants and others will need to work with cybersecurity professionals; help choose, implement and assure cybersecurity protections; and for accountants pass the CPA exam and engage in SOC II audits.
Instructors at universities and colleges who teach AIS, IT Audit or Advanced Auditing, Information Security, or Cybersecurity will find this book applicable in their their course. In addition, any business professional seeking an interesting-to-read cybersecurity primer, may also find the book useful.
If you’re at the pool or beach doing some summer reading, then you might also enjoy a couple of the cartoons from Cybersecurity Ventures that are in the book. Cybercrime is no laughing matter, but in this case a dose of humor does help keep readers engaged.
