What does it mean to live in a world where our most essential systems are digital-and vulnerable?

This book takes readers beyond the technical aspects of cybersecurity to explore how the management of digital risk shapes politics, policy and everyday life. Drawing on case studies from corporate boardrooms to international affairs, it reveals the social and political logics driving the fast-growing cyber risk industry.

From insurance markets to resilience planning, the book unpacks how these practices order people, places and possibilities-and why understanding them is vital for navigating the promises and perils of our digital future.

Reviews for Cyber Risk: Managing Uncertainty in a Digital World

‘This long-overdue look at cyber risk as socially constructed and not just technical opens new avenues for policy innovation and digital resilience.’ Debi Ashenden, University of New South Wales ‘Cyber risk is what politics makes of it. This book explains that process, its policy consequences, and its governmental effects.’ Dennis Broeders, Leiden University
