Techniques to Evolve Risk Governance: How Executives Make Informed Cyber Decisions
Regulators and standards bodies are requiring us to evolve cybersecurity governance. This session will help you understand how to make this work in your favor:
- Understand what NIST and regulators mean by “governance.”
- Help non-technical executives make informed cybersecurity decisions.
- Use governance to your advantage.
- Define a “clear line of acceptable risk” that everyone agrees to.
- Justify your controls program, even after a breach.
