Cyber Special Interest Group - Dealing with Cyber at the Board

We are told that Risk Management serves the purpose of helping decision-makers make decisions guided by assessed risk. In recent years, the cyber threat to most organisations has grown in both likelihood and impact as we become more connected in the digital world.

How are these risks conveyed to the decision-makers at the Board Level? And whose responsibility is it to ensure the board understands what cyber is and the dangers it can pose to the effective operation of their organisation?

Please join us for a presentation and debate delivered by David Jones, Non-Executive Director at Ofcom, Ofwat and Qualifications Wales, to discuss and share the challenges faced when engaging with the Board to deal with cyber risk.

Get his perspective on:

• Outlining the different roles of the Board vs Audit /Risk Committee
• How much time do Boards spend on Cyber?
• What are the key questions that Boards need to ask to assess Cyber risk?
• How do Companies manage their risks, and where does the risk of Cyber sit within that broad range of risks for a company?
• Cyber can be a very technical area. How do Boards cope with this? Do they have the expertise?

David will introduce you to the Cyber Body of Knowledge which aims to inform and underpin education and professional training for the cybersecurity sector.
