Programme Overview
A survey of members of the board of directors and IT security experts of one company by the Ponemon Institute revealed that 30 percent of the directors acknowledged that they did not understand the risks that their organisation faces in security matters. Yet, more than half of the IT security experts believe that the directors who sit on the board of their company do not understand the security environment that they are working in, or the risks it represents. This is a big deal, considering how many data breaches companies have seen. Some 90 percent of large companies suffered a cyberattacked, according to Kaspersky Lab’s 2015 report. The finger of blame for breaches is often pointed at malicious outsiders, cybercriminals who are intent on gathering information through malware and theft. When organisational people (directors and employees) fail to recognise basic security threats and how they can affect the organisation, things can get costly pretty quickly.
