The digital resilience of a business is no longer the exclusive domain of the CISO and their technical team. Cyberattacks, as we’ve seen, can have existential consequences for organisations that are unprepared or fail to fully assess the risks they face. As evidenced across the Atlantic, boards, not just technical staff, are increasingly being held accountable for failing to adequately protect their organisations. Chief Finance Officers, Chief Risk Officers, and CEOs are now squarely in the firing line.

However, for many boards, understanding what is often perceived as a highly technical risk remains a significant challenge. The breakneck pace at which businesses adopt new technologies only compounds this issue. As new systems are integrated into increasingly complex networks, IT teams struggle to keep up, not only with the influx of new tools but also with tracking what’s already in place. This complexity can appear daunting to non-technical executives. The role of the CISO as interpreter has never been more vital. How can CISOs communicate technology risk to the board in the language of business? How do we manage risk in an operational context? Our expert speakers explored these critical questions.
