How to bring information security to your Board

While Board members are not expected to master the technical details of digital topics, they must be equipped to evaluate risks and opportunities. This makes it the responsibility of CIOs and CISOs to translate digital complexity into strategic insight and ensure that leadership is prepared to steer the organisation in the digital era.

The ‘How to bring information security to your Board’ slide deck:

• Provides elements to help explain the risks to the Board, without being technical
• Starts from the business risks, then moves to the information security risks and possible actions
• Presents messages and examples that can be shared with the Board to ensure they have the information they need to decide on actions and budgets
