The Steps Your Board Must Take When Overseeing Cyber Risk
Michael Kaiser, Executive Director, National Cyber Security Alliance
Cyber risk remains one of the least understood and most challenging risks for board members to get their arms around. A majority of today’s directors did not face cyber attacks during their business careers, and now they find themselves tasked with protecting a company’s most valuable assets from unknown disruptors.
In this episode, Michael Kaiser offers a roadmap for today’s boards. He explains that “not all risks are created equal for all organizations” and tackles the following questions:
- What steps should the board be taking in a holistic approach to cyber oversight?
- In what ways is cyber risk similar to (and different from) other areas of board oversight?
- Why should boards consider “the human element” when outlining a strategy for protection?
