Cyber Insecurity The Silent Risk in Your Boardroom – Dr. Kiran Kewalramani launches a practical blueprint for Boards to govern cyber risk with confidence
Queensland, Australia, 18th Nov 2025 – Global cybersecurity thought leader Dr. Kiran Kewalramani, CEO and Founder of Cyber Ethos, today announced the official global release of his new book, Cyber Insecurity: The Silent Risk in Your Boardroom, now available on Amazon and KiranKewalramani.com.
Published by Penguin Publications and NuVoice, this timely release positions cybersecurity not as a technical function but as a matter of corporate governance, leadership, and accountability. The book is a direct call to action for company directors, CEOs, and Audit & Risk Committee members worldwide.
In Cyber Insecurity: The Silent Risk in Your Boardroom, Dr. Kewalramani distils decades of frontline cybersecurity and board-level experience into a clear, pragmatic, practical blueprint and a guide. The book empowers business leaders to understand cyber risk through the lens of governance, translating technical complexity into strategic clarity..
Its central premise is simple yet urgent: cybersecurity isn’t an IT problem – it’s a governance imperative. The book challenges Boards to treat cyber risk with the same discipline as financial, legal, and operational oversight, because trust, reputation, and business continuity now depend on it.
The book introduces three cornerstone tools for directors and executives, each designed to elevate organisational oversight and cyber resilience. First is The Board Director’s Cybersecurity Governance Framework, a practical blueprint that helps leaders assess and govern their organisation’s cyber posture with clarity and confidence. Complementing this is the CISO–Board Communication Playbook, which offers strategies to strengthen trust, alignment, and accountability between directors and cybersecurity leaders. Finally, the Global Alignment Guidelines provide actionable pathways for implementing ISO 27001, NIST, SMB1001:2025 and the Australian Government’s Essential 8 controls, integrating them with cyber-maturity models and director oversight checklists to support cohesive, standards-aligned governance.
Supported by industry data, Dr. Kewalramani highlights that while over 60 percent of ASX-listed companies now rank cybersecurity among their top three enterprise risks, fewer than 30 percent of directors feel confident governing it effectively. The stakes are real: a single cyber incident can erase up to 20 percent of a company’s market value overnight.
“Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue,” says Kewalramani. “It’s a boardroom blind spot and a leadership responsibility. The faster we realise this, the fewer headlines we’ll have to explain.”
Recognised globally for translating complex cyber issues into plain English and as a Graduate of Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), Dr. Kewalramani has spent more than 25 years as a Technology Executive and advising Boards and Governments on cyber governance, data privacy, and AI risk management. His message in Cyber Insecurity : The Silent Risk in Your Boardroom is both cautionary and empowering: directors don’t need to become cyber experts; they need to become accountable leaders.
