[/caption]Cyberheist the book has arrived! The Kindle edition is currently selling on Amazon for $9.99, and the print edition is pre-selling on Amazon for $21.99 with shipping to be fulfilled within the next two weeks. Cyberheist: The biggest financial threat facing American businesses since the meltdown of 2008 walks you through the underworld of phishing-related cybercrime and its devastating effects on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in particular. Cybercriminals have drained tens of millions of dollars from SME coffers due to the cleverness of the criminals and the lack of security awareness of SME staff. As the book points out, the most-effective protection from nearly any cyberheist is to "think before you click." That means deleting or avoiding any email, text message, or Tweet that seems questionable, and never haphazardly clicking a link unless you're sure of the source.

The book was written for Business Owners, Executive Management and IT personnel to understand the real threats facing their organizations, and to encourage Internet Security Awareness Training for all employees as a vital part of security policy to reduce an organization's risk. Even the best network firewalls and up-to-date antivirus programs can't stop a well-written phishing message from reaching the right (Phish-prone) person in your company. Cyberheist aims to arm you and your employees with the only defense at that point -- common sense.
