This isn’t a theory book. It’s a book built from the trenches—pulled from real business successes and failures as well as the painful lessons they leave behind.
Inside, you’ll find practical, story-driven insights based on events that happened. From cyberattacks to natural disasters and leadership gaps, this book shows how businesses fall apart when planning is an afterthought.
Each chapter ends with tools and takeaways you can use. This is written for executives, business owners, and leadership teams who want to get ahead of the next disruption, not get buried by it.
This book is written for people who lead, make decisions, and carry the weight when things go wrong. Owners of small and midsized businesses Managing partners at professional firms (Legal, Accounting, Architecture, Engineering, Insurance, Finance, Consulting, Medical, Dental) CIO and CISOs, Operations and finance leaders Legal, risk, and compliance teams Anyone responsible for keeping the business running when the unexpected happens.
Mark Wiener, founder and CEO of BizCom Global, helps businesses align technology, cybersecurity, and compliance with real-world goals, drawing on 25+ years of experience guiding companies through ransomware, cloud failures, mergers, and leadership crises. He speaks at national events, advises executive teams, and leads crisis simulation workshops with a clear, practical, business-first approach to help organizations prepare today & recover faster tomorrow.
Mark is a seasoned speaker who has delivered keynotes, breakout sessions, board briefings, and hands-on workshops across industries. Whether speaking to a room of 5500 executives or guiding a leadership team through a tabletop simulation, his focus is always the same: real stories, real takeaways, and strategies people can use the moment they leave the room.
These aren’t “cyber talks.” These are business leadership sessions built around planning, decision-making, and operational resilience; all told through the lens of events that have already happened to businesses just like yours.
