Intensive: Get Smart: Cybersecurity and the Board

This session will not transform you into a cyber-security expert. But it will help you become a more knowledgeable corporate director, better informed about state-of-the-art approaches that corporations can deploy to reduce the risk of damage from a significant cyber-attack. It will also highlight the techniques that boards and corporations can deploy to better identify an incident and help minimize the damage once an attack has been discovered. The session will review steps that boards can implement to help assure that management is responding appropriately to these threats. The panel will review prominent recent cyber-breaches and share practical lessons. The panel will also discuss the value of cyber-insurance, when and how companies might cooperate with law enforcement or government agencies, and with other firms in the industry, among other matters.
