With increasing Cyber Security Threats, information breaches and risks, it is essential organisations proactively implement a holistic Cyber Security strategy. Cyber Security is not a technical issue; this is a business issue which needs to be led by the Board. NEDs, Trustees and Audit Committees play a critical role by contributing to the strategic direction of the organisation, holding the Board to account to proactively manage risks and foster a positive Cyber Security culture to enable business outcomes.

In order to provide constructive strategic advice and leadership, it is important for NEDs, Trustees and Audit committees to raise their own Cyber Security awareness, knowledge and skills to carry out their role effectively.

Accredited by CESG and the IISP, this half day workshop de-mystifies Cyber Security for delegates and discusses their essential role in overseeing and ensuring that the Board leads on this agenda, manages information risk, and that the organisation continues to develop its cyber maturity. Delegates will be updated on the evolving Cyber Security landscape and Threats, so that they can continue to ask the relevant questions and ensure the business is able to demonstrate competence and compliance, from the Board to the frontline.
