Cyber Risks and Resilience: How Boards Gain Control

How can your board better oversee cyber risk?


Overview

This webinar took place on Wednesday 20 September 2023

According to the International Data Corporation, worldwide Cyber Security spending is forecast to be $219billion in 2023. Most board members are far from cyber experts, yet boards have an obligation to understand and oversee this significant risk. With new threats continually entering the horizon, and organisations facing fines for data breaches, how can your board better oversee cyber risk?

The reality is that today’s boards are intrinsically linked to risk management of their organisations, including cyber risk. This means it’s vital they have complete control of confidential communications and can securely share information and data for the most effective collaboration.

Our panel of experts discussed…

  • How the virtual world has accelerated a need for secure collaboration
  • Best practices for embedding cyber security in your organisation
  • Developing a positive cyber security culture
  • How boards can lead by example
  • Developing a robust incident response plan
