Overview

Most leaders don't struggle because cybersecurity is too technical-they struggle because the industry makes everything sound complicated. That confusion leads to overspending, vendor dependence, and decisions driven by fear instead of facts. Before Buying Cybersecurity gives business leaders a clear, practical way to evaluate providers, compare proposals, and understand what they are actually paying for. It removes jargon and sales noise so readers can focus on outcomes, value, and real protection. The book provides decision frameworks, negotiation guidance, risk-clarity models, and executive-level explanations that help organizations avoid common traps and make confident, verifiable choices. It shows how to read proposals the way security professionals do-by assessing assumptions, hidden costs, service gaps, and whether a provider's promises match their capabilities. Readers will learn how to compare MSPs and IT security vendors using objective criteria, how to ask questions that reveal true competence, and how to align cybersecurity spending with real business priorities instead of generic checklists. The guidance applies equally to small businesses, growing organizations, and established companies navigating complex IT environments. Whether you are selecting a new provider, reviewing a cybersecurity proposal, planning next year's IT budget, or simply trying to understand what ""good security"" should look like, this book offers a structure leaders can trust-without requiring a technical background. It is a practical companion for anyone who wants clarity, better decisions, and long-term confidence in their cybersecurity strategy.
