I Wrote a Best Selling Book for Cybersecurity Leaders

Last week I completed an 18-month journey to write and release my first book: Security Team Operating System (STOS). I wrote Security Team Operating System to offer security leaders a step-by-step system to run a high performing team. The book is based on my experience building a company, interviews with over 250 security leaders, and over one thousand cybersecurity assessments.

And, man, I am excited to share it with you.

The First Leadership System for Security Leaders

The world needs great leaders.

If you do it well you have the opportunity to change the lives of the people under your leadership. You have the opportunity to watch people start families, buy homes, and find meaning in their work. But most cybersecurity professionals aren't taught how to lead.

That's where this book comes in.

The Security Team Operating System is a proven 5-part system to help InfoSec leaders run world-class security teams.

The Five Part System

The STOS is broken down into five simple concepts:

𝟭. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: How do define a worthy mission and make it clear to your team.

𝟮. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀: How to establish cultural principles and hold your team accountable to acceptable rules of behavior.

𝟯. 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀: How to ensure the right people are doing the right jobs to accomplish the mission.

𝟰. 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀: How to make sure everyone is on the same page with the same information at the right time.

𝟱. 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: How to harness the team's energy to accomplish a clear objective.

The book lays out the entire system and includes free downloadable tools and templates to build it all out for yourself. That's about as much value as I can think of for a book that cost less than $10 on Amazon!

Born From Experience

This book is not theory either.

The "Security Team Operating System" is based on the system we run at risk3sixty to help get our whole team marching toward a common objective. And I have a lot of confidence that it works because since implementing the system our company has had amazing success.

Success like: 2x Consulting Magazine Best Places to Work, 6x Fastest Growing Companies in Atlanta, 6x Best Places to Work, 100% 5-Star Employee Reviews on Glassdoor, and a lot more.

I don't say any of that to brag about how great our company is, but rather to point out that getting your whole team on the same page can lead to amazing results. And that is exactly what this operating system has done for us.

It can do the same for you.

Beyond my experience building risk3sixty, this book was also inspired by the unique access we have in the security industry. For example, creating this system I collaborated with over 250 security leaders and risk3sixty performed over 2000 engagements. During that time we had the unique opportunity to test and refine elements of the Security Team Operating System. All of that experience culminated into this book.

Security Team Operating System is the real deal.
