What does the Board need to know about Cybersecurity
7th November 2023 | Tuesday | 11.00 AM | Zoom (Virtual)
Join us as we discuss how Board Directors can play the role effectively and navigate the board in this critical area.
Cybersecurity is a critical issue that must be a priority for every organisation. Failure to do so results in substantial risks, including loss of sensitive data and customers, reputational damage, human safety, as well as legal and regulatory consequences. As such, the Board must add cyber risk to its risk appetite and encourage cyber awareness throughout the organisation. However, Boards struggle to translate awareness of cyber risks into stronger security measures. The strengthened relationships with CISOs can serve as a catalyst for improving their organisation’s resilience.
This session will focus on the key steps to enable Board to improve cyber strategy and security posture of organisation, followed by an interactive engagement with respected industry players.
