Advisory Director: Cyber Security
Guardians of digital trust
In today's business landscape, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT-issue, it's a critical business concern that requires board-level attention.
Cyber threats grow more sophisticated and pervasive every year, and so do the potential financial, reputational, and operational risks. By prioritising cybersecurity on the board's agenda, executives can ensure robust risk management, protect sensitive data and maintain stakeholder trust. Moreover, proactive engagement in cybersecurity strategy empowers them to navigate regulatory requirements, respond quickly to incidents, and secure their competitive edge in today's interconnected world.
This years' Cybersecurity Awareness Month, under the theme Guardians of digital trust, is aimed at board-level executives, focusing on their vital role in safeguarding their organisation.
Throughout the month, four content pieces will be published:
Week 1: Enhancing board cybersecurity knowledge
Week 2: The growing divide between cyber resilient versus non-cyber resilient organisations
Week 3: Top cybersecurity threats and predictions for 2025
Week 4: Bridging the cybersecurity talent gap: Augmenting human efforts with AI
