Today's reliance on a mobile, connected world has given rise to the cyber age. In parallel, the rapid evolution of cyber crime has driven the importance of cyber security in society. However, cyber due diligence has been severely lacking in the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) process. An unforeseen data breach during a merger or acquisition could result in hundreds of millions of pounds being wiped from the deal, e.g., the GBP280 million reduction in the purchase price between Yahoo and Verizon Communications in 2016.

Cyber Security in Mergers & Acquisitions: The Industry Handbook answers the question "How do I assess the maturity of an organisation's cyber security during the pre-deal phase, using security best practice?" This industry handbook is directed at professionals involved in M&A deals as well as university students interested in M&A, private equity and cyber security. It adheres to cyber security best practice and analyses key elements in the due diligence process, such as governance, risk management, supply chain assurance, regulatory compliance, cyber insurance, cyber threat intelligence, incident management, disaster recovery and much more.

Rajinder Tumber is an award-winning and world record-breaking cyber security specialist with over a decade's experience in the industry. In this groundbreaking book, he provides a cyber solution for today's era of M&A deals: the CyberDD6 (R) framework.
