Strategic Cyber Management and Mitigation: Where do I start? How do I catch up? … Take a step back and organize for optimal cybersecurity risk reduction

This course is oriented towards C-Suite executives from industry sectors that are recognizing that they can’t afford to ignore the risk from an increasingly aggressive cyber threat environment, expanding risk exposure from a changing Enterprise IT landscape, the introduction of Internet of Things and other transformative technologies and rising expectations from regulators, shareholders and consumers. It will provide practical steps for organizing both personally and within the corporation to better assess, appreciate and address cybersecurity threats in a manner that recognizes that cost controls are as important as cybersecurity internal controls and that a wide group of stakeholders will need to understand your risk management investment decisions and put them into context as you navigate between profitability and responsible risk management.
