These gaps are often the root cause of sensitive data loss.
Follow cybersecurity specialist Nancy MacBaron who fights in the corporate trenches against criminal hackers intent on stealing her company's sensitive information, yet discovers hidden data security gaps in her corporation while investigating a data theft.
The world's first data security business novel is an accessible way to illuminate hidden data dangers while explaining some of the cybersecurity challenges of today.
Called into her boss's office early one morning, Nancy MacBaron is given dual assignments: one, to help locate the person who is holding their data for ransom, and two, investigate how their information management process allowed such a huge amount of sensitive information to be stolen. Amidst the rivalry among departments, and the pressure of financial disaster for the company, Nancy begins a journey of discovery that shows her a landscape of data process activity that nobody is coordinating or even really aware exists.
Nancy confers with a number of people, some helpful, some resentful of outsiders, all adding more pieces to the puzzle. Amidst the new ideas, old work habits, and personal conflicts Nancy begins to recognize hidden and ungoverned gaps within the corporation along with following clues to find the criminal before the company's data is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Follow Nancy as she gathers different perspectives from developers, data architects, managers, attorneys, cybersecurity specialists, data governance groups, law enforcement, and members of her own family to formulate a method to protect sensitive information that coordinates the expertise of many business groups to eliminate gaps in The Hidden Corporation.

Free The Hidden Corporation: A Data Management Security Novel
This book took me about 4 hours to read end-to-end. Although the title is not compelling, the book's story is well-told. I especially like the story lead-in, where they had a breach and someone was selling their secret data--someone they suspect inside.
You are going to be more knowledgeable when you read this book, and at the data level, which is where we have to move to protect ourselves today.
Summaries that concluded the chapters were helpful to reinforce key points and observations. These were also scattered within the chapters.
There's no spare fluff. It's written in a story line just like it would be in most any business, and it's compelling. It's a very different book from most on the market, and easy to understand. I wasn't sure who the target audience was--not security people I think! Perhaps managers, along with database and developer folks. It would offer a good textbook and view for students in MIS and security curriculums--it's not currently taught.
The book has a good story and you have to stay engaged to avoid missing details. I was hoping for more humor from Mr. Schlesinger than I saw in the book--that is his stock in trade. There are no easy mind breaks--you cannot skim or speed read, and still interpret and comprehend the story.
In the book's lead-in, it's unrealistic--the likelihood of two SACs--Special Agent in Charge--being assigned to a loss of $5000-$130,000. It's not very believable. It would not meet a materiality threshold to garner that kind of attention or support outside the company. The company would care most, because of what they stand to lose. But of course this all depends on whose reading the book if they'd know this or care.
Lots of data at once in this book--lots of facts flying.
