Survivability

A new "Era of the Unprecedented" is upon us. Geo-Poli-Cyber™ warfare and attacks have escalated since 2010. Their most lethal perpetrators aren't motivated by money but by political, geopolitical, ideological, false-religious, and extremist goals to devastate and coerce nations and economies, while cybersecurity strategies continue failing to defend nations and business structures impacting lives, livelihoods, economies and markets. Citizens worldwide are unaware of this daunting reality impacting them while governments and businesses continue to get cyber-hacked routinely and leaders keep following what's failing. Recently, seismic events exposed alarming failures in the Rules-Based Order-and its economic, legislative, regulatory, democratic, and humanitarian institutions, and values. Think about, 1. DeepSeek's chatbot release in 2025 that collided Artificial Intelligence (AI), Geopolitics, and Tech Supremacy resulting in global shockwaves. 2. The humanitarian catastrophes of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza wars. 3. 2020 COVID-19 pandemic that exposed western democracies' systemic failure to prepare for a threat they knew was coming. 4. Syria's leadership change. Consider AI and tech innovation's breakneck speed coupled with systemic governmental failures-Will your leaders be ready for sinister exploitation of AI, IoT, and Quantum breakthroughs by adversaries or enemies? How about when these innovations are used in cyber warfare, terrorism, election meddling, etc.? Still think current cyber regulatory frameworks, requirements, best practices, or national security strategies are capable of defending nations, economies, markets, businesses, citizens, and/or democracies? Is your government able to mitigate escalating Geo-Poli-Cyber™ Warfare or attacks to protect you? This book explores those certainties and new paths forward. In today's new era, safeguarding nations, organizations, and citizens has less to do with security... and everything to do with survivability.
