Review

"Decisions are only as good as the assumptions they are built on. Cohen shows you which ones to use and which to watch out for. " -John Danner, UC Berkeley and Princeton faculty member, global advisor and keynote speaker. "Andy challenged the thinking and attitudes of my team with some real eye-opening consequences. In my experience, it is rare that such an impactful person can translate these skills into written form. Reading this is like he is in the room with you." -Irene Dorner, former President and Chief Executive Officer of HSBC USA "The vast majority of security issues we face today stem from misplaced trust assumptions. This is a must-read for the security professional." -Colonel (Ret.) Greg Conti, Ph.D.
