Webinar & Peer Exchange on Cyber Resilience
Our business impacting sustainability challenges are interconnected. The energy transition required for net zero targets includes increasing dependence on additional infrastructures and sensors with higher cyberattack risk.
Approximately 2,200 cyber attacks occur each day, on average one cyber attack every 39 seconds. Cybercrime is expected to cost 7.3Trillion Euro in 2023….
There is no organization that is safe from cyber-attacks in today’s digital age. A breach of cybersecurity can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, and legal repercussions. Making a business digital resilient is not just a security issue but a key factor in business sustainability.
With 73% of Boards now prioritizing cybersecurity, the role of Board members in cyber risk management is more prominent than ever.However, this is the area that boards find most challenging of all areas to oversee, and 59% has to bring in external advisors.
How can we as boards, find a better way to navigating the complex landscape of digital threats and opportunities and to assess and monitor cyber resilience?
Welcome to a webinar and peer exchange on Digital Guardianship: Enhancing Board-Level Oversight for Cyber Resilience, with both academia and experienced professional board members.
The event is organised by Boards Impact Forum, together with MIT Sloan and ILA (The Board Directors Institute in Luxembourg-Institut Luxembourgeois des Administrateurs)
