Cyber Security for Business Leaders
DURATION
3.5 hours (1/2 day)
EXAM
No exam
Course Overview
Cyber security is now a top priority and a prominent topic in boardroom and management discussions. Business leaders are compelled to immerse themselves in the nuances of cyber risk, domains, imminent threats, and incident response tactics to adeptly navigate and neutralise cyber threats. Making well-informed decisions to safeguard organisational boundaries and data necessitates a robust grasp of cyber security essentials.
This course is designed to equip contemporary non-cyber security leaders with the knowledge necessary to establish, oversee, and contribute to security objectives and a strong security culture. The participants will be versed in recognising the importance of cyber threats and vulnerabilities and gain insights into how adversaries exploit human and systemic weaknesses to breach organisational security.
In four hours, leaders will be part of a discussion into cyber security functions and challenges, then finish the course with enhanced strategic decision-making insights, and the ability to talk a little cyber-tech.
With an enriched understanding of the multifarious cyber security landscapes, leaders are equipped to ask pertinent questions, assess reporting metrics, and provide informed feedback post incident.
Leadership in cyber security for non-cyber leaders isn’t founded on technical comprehension. It fundamentally relates to effectively managing challenges and to shaping a culture.
