A Guide to Creating the Best Data Communications and Networks for Your Business

No business can function without the effective design and implementation of data communications and computer networks. Yet these IT functions remain poorly understood and difficult to build strategy upon. However, every CEO needs to ensure that their organization has a powerful data communications strategy to succeed, as innovative landscapes continue to shift, challenging their operations at every turn. And one way to stay above the chaos and still operate efficiently is by having the right computer network to back it all up, safely and securely.

But most CEOs do not have time to become computer network experts, although it is crucial that they understand the constantly evolving technical dangers that can disrupt and destroy their business model. Even for leaders without a strong technical background, Nathan offers the tools for CEOs to be able to analyze what they need to implement in their organization’s overall digital strategy.

In The CEO’s Digital Survival Guide: A Practical Handbook to Navigating the Future, Nathan Whittacre gives access to the fundamentals of basic operations, features, and the limitations of different computer networks available today. Nathan has years of experience creating systems and processes to help CEOs run their businesses. He gives an easy-to-follow overview of what every CEO needs to know in order to be able to systematically understand, analyze and implement the right system for their organization to protect their infrastructure against external and internal threats. He explains best practices and discusses the most current technologies that are available.
