Lack of Cyber Education at the Board Level

Only 27% of board members say they understand the cyber risks facing their organization, leaving most directors without the knowledge needed to ask the right questions, challenge management, or make informed decisions.

To establish an effective cybersecurity defense, it's essential for board of directors and executives to have a level-set understanding of cybersecurity and build this mindset into the foundation of everything the company does.

Empower Your Board with Cybersecurity Expertise

Most board directors lack the cybersecurity training needed to fulfill their fiduciary duties and protect the organization from evolving cyber risks.

So we developed an eLearning program to provide busy board directors with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to effectively oversee cybersecurity, data privacy, and AI risks, strengthen governance, and safeguard organizational resilience.

The Board of Directors Cybersecurity Governance Program empowers board of directors with the real-world cybersecurity expertise they need to lead.
