Recently Women on Boards (WOB) invited me to contribute a guest blog on cybersecurity and the board, being such a topical area and one of great importance for all organisations. You can read a quick overview of the article here. Otherwise, you can read the full article here (note you will need to be a member of WOB to see the full article).

We created a PDF that covers the topics from the article which you can download below.
The key takeaways from the article, and expanded on in our PDF summary:
- Make sure you set the tone from the top regarding cybersecurity.
- Understand your organisation’s risk exposure and threat landscape.
- Ensure your organisation has identified its assets i.e. what applications are being used, where data is being stored etc.
- Know what your regulatory obligations are.
- Implement a cybersecurity strategy.
- Understand your organisation’s cyber maturity.
- Ensure you have an information security risk management framework. Remember, cyber is a business risk, not an IT risk.
- Build a culture of resilience, and ensure your staff are equipped with the knowledge to fight against cyber threats.
- Have in place an incident response plan and make sure it is tested.
