03 Mar 11. CyberWar, CyberTerror, CyberCrime, (IT Governance Ltd., 2008, ISBN: 978-1-905356-47-8). Culture determines everything we humans do. Leadership within the context of that culture determines the degree of successes and failures of the culture. Julie E. Mehan is one of only a few technologists to artfully and successfully tie the two concepts together in the modern cross cultural context that impacts every person on the planet – cyber security. Dr. Mehan, as displayed throughout CyberWar, CyberTerror, CyberCrime, (IT Governance Ltd., 2008, ISBN: 978-1-905356-47-8) is doubtless one of the effective leaders.

The opening sentence of the conclusion to CyberWar, CyberTerror, CyberCrime states “If you were looking for a comprehensive manual on how to create an enterprise cyber security programme, you were likely disappointed in this text.” So true. But do not despair, the bones are there in the last half of the text where she covers standards, their history a
