As a board member, it is important to manage cybersecurity risk. This has become more challenging with the increasing number of ransomware attacks. Furthermore, a ransomware attack can be incredibly disruptive to an organization and often will require both time and effort to recover.
Boards need to ensure that their organization is prepared and ready to respond to a cyber incident.
This webinar will provide insight for directors on the following:
  1. Current threat landscape
  2. Impact of a ransomware attack
  3. Importance of good security practices
To help board members prepare, this interactive webinar will also provide the opportunity for group discussion on key issues related to cybersecurity risk management and recovery approaches for use at the board table.
