As seen on 'Best 5 Books on Mergers & Acquisitions' by FiveBooks.com!

Written by Lawrence Grant, Harvard graduate, experienced business advisor, investor, and former Chief Information Security Officer.

Buyers and sellers can lose millions during mergers & acquisitions because of cybersecurity lapses.

In 2016 during its merger with Verizon, Yahoo reported improperly resolved previous cyber incidents, which resulted in a $350 million reduction in the acquisition price, tarnished its reputation, and led to legal action.

The repercussions of this mistake were significant.

And yet, instances like this continue to occur. Lawrence Grant introduces a cybersecurity framework in ‘Mergers & Acquisitions Cybersecurity’, drawing from his experience advising middle market and Fortune 100 companies through mergers & acquisitions.

Here, you will find the only book that offers a cybersecurity framework that prevents the mistakes which unravel deals and tank valuations.

In this book, you’ll learn:

• Real Case Studies: Gain insights into the incidents that cost companies like Yahoo and Marriott millions of dollars in deal value and the specific strategies you can use to protect against financial loss, reputational harm and legal liabilities before, during, and after your M&A transaction.
• Deal Threats & Impacts: Recognize cybersecurity threats that can cause significant loss of deal value and how to mitigate and protect against their impacts.
• M&A Cybersecurity Framework: Lawrence introduces a practical framework for buyers and sellers that includes strategies for identifying, categorizing, quantifying and mitigating M&A transaction cybersecurity risk and a methodology for assessing and calculating any upfront and residual financial costs that may impact the transaction.
• Transaction Cyber Protection: Deep insights and strategies to protect the value of M&A transactions — from before the initial deal engagement through to deal closure, company integration and asset transfer. Owners, investors and all professionals involved in the buying, selling or merging of companies will find this book indispensable for overcoming the challenges posed by cybersecurity.

By adopting the principles shared in Lawrence’s cybersecurity framework; you’ll effectively minimize risks, protect company value and secure transactions.
