Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern; it's a critical business issue demanding boardroom attention. This talk dives into the evolving threat landscape and its potential impact on an organization's reputation, finances, and operations.
I'll explore key areas for board oversight, including:
- Understanding cyber risks in business terms
- Translating technical jargon into actionable insights
- Building a culture of security awareness across the organization
- Developing a proactive cybersecurity strategy aligned with business goals
The talk will showcase successful strategies for board engagement and provide practical steps for directors to transform cybersecurity from a burden to a strategic advantage.
