Dan has more than 30 years of experience in the computer industry and is an internationally recognized cybersecurity leader, technologist, keynote speaker and author.

“The idea here is to marry up three parts: before, during and after an incident. So what can you do before, four chapters of the book is about, preparing everything from having playbooks and doing exercises, tabletop exercises, real true stories, what people learned and the good, the bad ugly. Then during incidents in the middle, real stories about that. And then at the end, what about afterwards? What, like the last chapter is turning cyber lemons into organizational lemonade. So really the idea of how can we take what we learned and then roll it back into our plan, into our playbooks, in our scenarios, and to get better and improve.” — Dan Lohrmann
