Risk Management – How to Keep Board Members Awake at Night

Summary

Despite legal and regulatory obligations, many boards of directors struggle with their role in systematic risk management. Their contribution and response to incidents, e.g. cyber-extortion cases with far-reaching consequences, is hesitant. Rather than acting as true role models, guiding and monitoring their organisation’s risk posture and supporting incident response through consistent and timely board-level decisions, boards tend to delegate oversight and control to CROs and CISOs. Some even prefer not be get involved beyond statutory reporting.

In this event you will learn:

👉How an appropriate delegation of tasks and responsibilities may be structured

👉What preventive measures and decisions your board members should consider

👉What “role model” behavior you should expect from the board of directors
