Leadership in cyber resilience: executive governance, strategic decision

Cyber incidents are no longer solely IT issues. Ransomware attacks, data breaches and supply chain attacks can quickly become board level issues, affecting operations, reputation, regulatory compliance and stakeholder confidence.

Join Neil Hare-Brown from STORM Guidance , and Charlotte Hill and Oliver Kidd from Penningtons Manches Cooper, for an interactive workshop designed for board members, senior executives, general counsel and risk leaders.

Combining legal, regulatory and cyber security perspectives with a live incident simulation, the session will consider:

the board’s role in cyber governance and resilience;

strategic decision making during a cyber incident;

legal, regulatory and stakeholder considerations;

crisis communications and reputation management; and

steps organisations can take to strengthen resilience.
