Are you ready to confront the most pressing new threat in the business world?
In Who Clicked the Link?, Torben Kjeldgaard Trans takes you directly into the heart of a reality no executive can ignore: cyberattacks are no longer a distant risk—they are inevitable. Managing finances, developing new products, or analyzing competitors is no longer enough. Cybersecurity is now a strategic battlefield that every senior leader must understand and engage in.
Through a unique combination of clarity, humor, and deep practical insight, this book explores how cybercrime evolved from the mischief of lone hackers into a highly organized, multi-billion-dollar global threat. From ransomware attacks that paralyze cities to phishing schemes that cripple corporations, the threats are sophisticated—and relentless.
But Who Clicked the Link? is not a book of fear. It is a book of action.
Torben Kjeldgaard Trans delivers a clear roadmap for how leaders can take responsibility for cybersecurity without becoming technical experts themselves. The focus is on strategic alignment: how IT and business strategy must work hand-in-hand to build resilience, defend critical assets, and ensure business continuity when—not if—an attack happens.
Along the way, the book demystifies crucial regulatory frameworks and certifications that now shape the cybersecurity landscape. You will gain a solid understanding of how to navigate and comply with the NIS2 Directive, GDPR requirements, ISO27001 and CMMC standards. Whether your company operates in Europe, the United States, or globally, understanding these regulations is no longer optional—it is a key component of risk management and corporate governance.
Who Clicked the Link? is not written for IT specialists. It is written for CEOs, CFOs, board members, general managers, and any senior professional who recognizes that cybersecurity is not just an IT problem—it is a core business issue.
It is a call to action for leaders who want to make informed, strategic decisions, and who understand that protecting the company’s reputation, operations, and customer trust starts at the very top.
In this book, you will learn:
- Why cybersecurity is now a boardroom topic—and why ignoring it can destroy your business faster than any competitor.
- How to identify your organization’s true cyber risks—and avoid wasting resources on irrelevant threats.
- Why "hope" is not a cybersecurity strategy—and what a realistic defense plan actually looks like.
- How regulatory compliance such as NIS2, GDPR, ISO27001 and CMMC impacts your business operations and what you need to do to stay ahead.
- Why having a strong relationship with your CIO or CISO is crucial—and how to build it.
- How culture, leadership, and human behavior are as important as firewalls and encryption.
You cannot eliminate risk. But you can control how badly things go when the inevitable happens.
Who Clicked the Link? equips you to become part of the solution, not the next headline.
