Reviews
“In this highly informative book, the authors deploy rich empirical qualitative data from the financial industry to highlight the many hurdles that prevent public-private partnerships from realising their full potential, and offer insightful practical recommendations on how to remedy that situation.”
—Benoît Dupont, Professor of Criminology, University of Montreal, Canada, and Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity
“Cybersecurity is an immensely complex field, and public-private partnerships in the financial sector are at the very core of this complexity. This book provides rich insights into these partnerships, their internal dynamics, and tensions, appealing to those specialising in cybersecurity, public-private partnerships, security networks, and security governance.”
—Chad Whelan, Associate Professor in Criminology, Deakin University, Australia
“This book offers a significant blueprint for would-be cybersecurity heroes in a business where there can be no ‘second place’ finishers!”
—Brigadier General Stanley J. Osserman, Jr., US Air Force (Retired)
