A novel about speed, trust, and the cost of doing the right thing.Mira Vasquez becomes Chief Security Officer of Crestline, a fast-growing legal-AI company operating under a federal consent decree. Within sixty days, the disaster the board hired her to prevent is happening again on her watch: a breached vendor, a stack of regulators, and an AI feature quietly failing in production. Holding all of it herself nearly breaks her, her team, and her family.Over one hundred and fifty days, Mira learns the hardest lesson of the job. Security built right is not the brake on a company's speed but its downforce, the force that presses it to the road and lets it take the turns faster than a company without it could survive. And the thing she has to let go of is the very thing that has been keeping her afraid.The Downforce is a business novel for the people who actually run security and the executives who manage them. It is a story of vendors and regulators and boardrooms. It is also a story of a marriage, two kids, and the cost of doing the right thing when the easy thing is always on offer.©2026 Assaf Keren (P)2026 Assaf Keren Leadership Legal Management & Leadership Security & Encryption Thriller & Suspense
