Presentation Topic - 'Board Responsibilities for Cyber Security'

High profile cyber-attacks, like Ransomware, occur with alarming frequency and affect almost every enterprise. Rapidly evolving technologies like the Internet of Things, cloud, artificial intelligence, and even quantum computing have profound implications on cyber security. 

The enterprise’s Board of Directors has responsibility for ensuring appropriate governance of information and technology.  So, what should board directors be concerned about relative to cyber security?  What are typical practices relative to managing cyber risk that boards have adopted?  What types of reports and information should the board request from management?  What questions might the board ask management to help ensure proper oversight and governance?
