Still Exposed: The Modern Blueprint for Enterprise Security in an AI-Driven World - Paperback

Enterprise security programs fail not because of missing tools or insufficient effort but because of flawed design. Most organizations are defending a map that does not reflect the territory, validating controls that have never been tested under adversarial conditions, and making containment decisions in the moment that should have been made in the architecture long before any attacker arrived.

Still Exposed provides the blueprint for closing that gap. Written for CISOs, security architects, and SOC managers, the book covers continuous asset discovery, identity governance, attack path validation, blast radius containment, crown jewel protection, and AI-governed security operations. Each chapter delivers specific architectural decisions and operational disciplines that separate a program built for compliance from one built to hold under real adversarial pressure, closing with a detailed 30/60/90-day implementation plan.

Drawing on more than three decades of enterprise security experience across financial services, healthcare, retail, and critical infrastructure, author Christopher M. Stathis, CISSP, delivers a practical framework for security leaders who want their programs to perform under pressure, not just on paper.
