Reshaping the technology dialogue in the boardroom
Having cyber-literate directors is important, but knowledge alone can't fix the last-mile challenges of implementation. Effective cyber oversight depends on a dialogue that surfaces risks, explores trade-offs, and enables better decisions. If you want more transparent cyber reporting, clearer trade-offs for your investment decisions, and find your cyber resilience efforts well aligned with strategy, this article includes five practical steps you can take.
Chasing the chimera of zero cyber risk?
Comforting but unrealistic claims such as “we have no appetite for cyber risk” or “we aim to avoid all data breaches” may sound responsible, but they reflect a poor understanding of today’s dynamic cyber threats. Boards should ask more grounded questions to shift the conversation from abstract ideals to an honest assessment of risk management capacity.
Cyber Culture: See Something – Say Something!
While organisations invest heavily in cybersecurity technologies, strengthening the behavioural security layer is equally vital. A positive cyber culture, where employees feel responsible for security and empowered to act, is a crucial defence against cyber risks. Find out about 5 practical tipps on how a board can foster a positive cyber culture in this article.
