Discription:
In the Digital Era, ubiquitous connectivity has spared no enterprise the risks of being hacked from
anywhere in the world. Whether the intruder's purpose is to steal, change, or destroy information,
or to use its unauthorized access to harm and disrupt the enterprise's operations, the attackers
have continued to increase their advantage over the defenders. Virtually all enterprises have been
breached and their sensitive information compromised. The reality of this threat, coupled with the
near total dependence of today's businesses on networked digital technology, presents a major
risk of catastrophic consequences to most businesses. And acquiring or merging with any
business involves taking on that risk. Thus, in any M&ampAtransaction, an evaluation of the
target's cybersecurity capabilities and experience is critical. This comprehensive and valuable
guide, Guide to Cybersecurity Due Diligence in M&ampATransactions is designed to assist
