Webinar: Cyber attack, is your board prepared?

Recent high profile cyber attacks have made it clear that no one is immune to them. Well-known public companies and institutions have had their brands, reputations and bottom lines put at risk by criminal organizations, social ‘hacktivists’ and state sponsored espionage aimed at stealing valuable intellectual property. The world is changing, and so are the threats companies will need to consider. In the face of this, the role of boards and their directors will need to evolve to help management focus on emerging threats and a new paradigm of risk management.
