‘This is an important book on the quality and comprehensiveness of cybersecurity policies and strategies in developing and emerging economies. The book provides a guiding framework for understanding the determinants of the quality and comprehensiveness of National Cyber Security (NCS) strategies in countries from a resource-based theory perspective. The work performed by the authors and the conclusions reached are unique, such as proving that soft, intangible resources and infrastructure measures are important in explaining variations in quality and comprehensiveness of NCS strategies. The book concludes with a number of useful recommendations geared toward refining the development of, and guiding/improving the enforcement of, cybersecurity strategies in emerging economies.’
