Every business, no matter the size, can be hit with a cybersecurity crisis and successful outcomes favor the prepared. Cyberattacks continue to escalate, disrupting core business activities, the global economy, and our way of life.

It is essential that today’s corporate boards and business leaders understand and assist with driving cybersecurity accountability across the organization to protect critical assets. More recently, the United States Congress has put forward pending legislation that would require publicly-traded companies to disclose whether any board member has “expertise or experience in cybersecurity” or, if not, how the board has taken cybersecurity into account in support of the business. Is your boardroom ready to address these challenges going forward?

The Cybersecurity Accountability and the Corporate Board executive education program provides participants with clear and concise cybersecurity considerations that all directors and executive leaders must be aware of to defend the business. Each topic is purposefully designed to help participants understand and manage cybersecurity accountability in pragmatic terms, free of jargon and technical fog.

Through a series of lectures, anecdotal examples, and case studies, this program will discuss essential cybersecurity measures that will significantly reduce the frequency and impact of targeted cyberattacks. This program is specifically designed for board members to further understand, take action on, and increase their cybersecurity acumen to address even the most advanced security threats impacting organizations. Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility and setting the tone for strong cyber defense begins with the board.
