Cyber Security for Board Members – Digital Classroom

This course looks to bring senior executives up to speed with the current threat landscape, and how this may impact their organisation. It reviews the more common cyber threats and delves into mitigation strategies.

The session aims to empower senior leaders and executives with a strategic approach to objectively assessing an organisation’s cyber and data security. It introduces a framework-based approach to managing cyber risk, introducing governance, and reporting the organisation’s posture & progress at the leadership level.

The CIS Controls and Essential Eight are reviewed as the governance frameworks to consider when building a wholistic approach to keeping stakeholders accountable on the journey to securing an organisation against cyber-attacks.

Covered also, at an introductory level, are tips and templates for setting up a Cyber Incident Response Plan. (Please see also our dedicated course on this topic).

Finally, the importance of developing a positive organisational “security culture” that supports cyber awareness is explored.

As always, the full PowerPoint slide deck will be provided to attendees after the session. It includes an extensive list of key resources for the topics covered.
