Executives and board members are among the highest-value targets in any organisation. Their authority over decisions, finances, and communications makes them a priority for attackers — and their busy schedules make them more likely to act quickly on a convincing but fraudulent request. This 1-day programme gives leadership the cyber awareness and governance knowledge they need to protect themselves and their organisations.
Participants leave with a clear understanding of the threats they personally face, what good cyber governance looks like at the board level, and how to lead effectively before, during, and after a cyber incident.
