Cybersecurity and the Role of Governance

Every day, there seems to be a news story about a ransomware attack or data breach. These costly events stop businesses in their tracks, and spell a PR nightmare. But have you ever wondered how some of these events came to be?

Media reports of late have shown an increase in both large and small businesses falling victim to a host of cybersecurity incidents. Each highlights how the action of clicking on a link can trigger an organization-wide ransomware attack — locking troves of data until a ransom is paid.

The aphorism, “the first step in solving a problem is recognizing there is one,” rings true. Discover how a focus on governance can help your organization develop a durable and lasting competitive advantage enabled by and with the support of cybersecurity.

What You’ll Learn

In this interactive workshop session, we’ll start by taking the mystery out of cybersecurity by unpacking the basics. We’ll then walk through a few simple steps you can take to help keep data safe by:

  • Reviewing the basic principles of cybersecurity: confidentiality, integrity, and availability, otherwise known as the “CIA” triad
  • Exploring the technical and physical components of today’s most common attack practices
  • Exploring quick wins to help thwart threat actors

Testimonials

”[The workshop] will allow me to talk from an informed perspective in my own organization about the importance of cyber security and the costs/risks of not addressing this issue. It will never disappear so we need to continue to address it now and long into the future.”
