“There’s no playbook for this.” That’s what CEO Michael Lynton told Associated Press following a devastating cyberattack that crippled Sony’s computers, stole its data and nearly scuppered the release of its controversial movie, The Interview.

But the response should not be one of hand-wringing, hoping and praying your company won’t be next.

Scenario planning, the subject of this chapter, is a helpful way of future-proofing your business. |
