Setting the right dialogue between those leading the business and those charged with its technical resilience has never been more important. An IT failure can be catastrophic for our organisations, disrupting our ability to deliver for our customers. A data breach can be even more devastating, not just hitting the bottom line but detrimentally impacting trust. The board’s focus should be ensuring a business is digitally resilient; regulations underline this.

Yet most boards find it challenging to identify the risks to the business in the technical domain. Networks are complex and evolving ‘organically’, mixing everything from unsupported legacy to state-of-the-art. For the CISO, the challenge is translating technical language into business risk so that boards can make the best strategic decisions. The key? Providing the right metrics to demonstrate a return on security investment.

Our selection of expert speakers discussed how regulations put boards on the front line, the importance of culture and the value of data, how the board views and manages cyber in the lexicon of business risks, and why clear communication is vital.
