A Four-Party Webinar Series: Fall 2021
Dates: Oct. 21, Oct. 28, Nov. 4, Nov. 11 from 2:00pm – 3:15pm ET.
What responsibilities do Board members have to ensure that their organizations are exercising “reasonable” cybersecurity? What is a “reasonable” level of cybersecurity in light of changing technologies, regulations, and recent high-profile breaches such as SolarWinds? Basic cybersecurity literacy is becoming increasingly vital to business executives and boards of directors across an array of industries, sectors, and nations, but that is no longer enough. With ‘zero-click’ attacks that can infect your device just by receiving a message, and a growing number of organized crime networks and even nation states targeting vulnerable firms – including small businesses – it is more important than ever for leaders to be informed about how best to protect their employees, customers, and themselves. This special cybersecurity risk management webinar series will address these topics, and more, equipping board members and executives with the tools they need to understand cyber threats and what actions their organizations can, and should, be taking to proactively manage them in an increasingly crowded (and risky) global marketplace.
In this series, you will learn:
- Cybersecurity and corporate governance best practices to manage threats, including risk management tools
- The benefits, and drawbacks, of cyber risk insurance
- How to navigate the changing regulatory landscape involving both cybersecurity and privacy
- How to communicate and report on cyber risk at the state and federal levels
- About hot topics in cybersecurity risk management (supply chain security, artificial intelligence/machine learning, blockchain, smart contracts, etc.)
