Cybersecurity for Executives

Written By Amy Burks

This course is designed to provide executives with a better understanding of how cyber impacts them, their organization and their sphere of influence. It all begins with you as leaders and decision-makers, and your ability to successfully lead and integrate cyber requirements within your organizations. As the adversarial cyber activity becomes increasingly prevalent and attacks become more sophisticated and damaging, current practices must evolve to provide appropriate safeguards for everyone. Over the course of one day, we’ll go over how to effectively enable safeguards, instill operational best practices, and teach you how to implement a team approach to building a cyber-risk-aware culture. 

You’ll leave here today with the ability to interpret:

  • Dependencies in the information and cyber domains
