Cyber for C-Suite

This training raises cyber awareness at the C-Suite and Board level and provides tools to manage the cyber risk in an integrated manner. The content is focused on the needs of Senior Executives and is conveyed in a language they understand. It is delivered in a session of half a day and it can be combined with a bespoke, interactive, table-top exercise. The training can be provided on premise and could be integrated with an in-house brainstorming on cyber risk and mitigation.

01

A primer on cyber risk management and what a CEO really needs to know about it. About protection through understanding the key assets of the organisation and their risk of being compromised. How to integrate the cyber risk into the business risk? About Frameworks and critical preventive controls and managing the risks instead of hiding them.

How to recruit and retain specialised cyber staff in an extremely competitive environment?

When and how to report? Cooperation with law enforcement: opportunities and pitfalls. What and when to communicate with your staff, your clients, the press ?
