Does anyone on the board have Information Security and Risk Management expertise?
Many information sources have begun talking about the importance of information security and risk management oversight by the board of directors. Computer and data systems were once a business enhancement – they have transitioned to business-critical tools (our ransomware experience has made this obvious). As a result, boards must be aware of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data and computing services and systems. At a minimum, there should be a formal mechanism (usually a formal committee) that includes experts in information technology, security, risk management, and business to digest the current threat and risk landscape and make recommendations to address these risks to the board.
-
How do our threat intelligence activities inform our risk management decision making?
If you’re acting and tracking your actions based on threat intelligence coming in, then it will inform your risk-management decision-making process. It will help you think about your strategic plans in terms of risk from a cyber-security perspective, not just a financial one.
-
Who on the Board or in Executive Management has cybersecurity expertise?
More and more we’re seeing Boards with people that have either a technological or security background. This expertise can significantly elevate a Board's awareness. And more awareness is how we win against cybercriminals.
-
Do we base our cyber security program upon a widely accepted security framework?
When you’re writing your policies and developing your program, having a framework to base it on is very helpful. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel.
-
Do we fully understand cyber security threats and risks as they relate to our organization / institution and industry sector?
Cyber attacks are constantly evolving. Most experts agree that this trend will continue, with attacks getting more frequent and sophisticated all the time. It’s important that you stay up-to-date on the current threat environment and attack vectors. You need to know whether your organization or industry is being targeted, and how you would be impacted if an attack was successfully perpetrated.

Why security awareness training to your board
As a Board member you need to understand adequate about cyber security so you can have a confident conversation with your experts. These days cyber Security is everyone’s problem. With cybercrime damages expected $6 trillion by 2021, it is hardly surprising that Cyber Security has become a board-level hot topic now a days. The board members are responsible for implementing of a sound cyber security program, including the overall guidance and direction of setting a cultural value related to risk awareness, policy and strategy, defining risk profile and creating security initiatives and priorities for organization.
Sense of Security’s board-level advisory services help you understand how effectively you are managing the cyber security of your business. Sense of Security provides clarity to the board on higher-level objectives, compliance, changes in the market and risk management.
Why is cyber security important to the board?
Cyber security is no longer something that only impacts your IT department or Information Security team. When a security incident hits an organization, it can cost USD 3.92 million – this being the average cost of a cyber-attack in 2019. Data breaches can cause devastating financial losses and affect an organization’s reputation for years. Many of the costs incurred by a security incident are indefinable. Loss of brand loyalty, for example, is difficult to qualify in the long term and costly to reinstate, once lost.
The costs of a cyber attack can be significant. To protect finances, liability, reputation, and future growth, corporate boards must ensure that their companies have appropriate processes in place to manage cyber risk in the context of their business. This article looks at cyber-security from a governance perspective and offers suggestions for directors on how to carry out their oversight role.
Being a Board member, you will be targeted always
Senior executives, management or stakeholders in organizations are regularly the target of cyber-attack by cyber-criminal, because of their access to valuable assets and also their influence within the organization.
Implementing cyber security awareness program, security policies will help to mitigate cyber risk. It is critical that Board members and stakeholders must understand and follow their organization’s cyber security policies, so that when a cyber-criminal tries to manipulate them, staff can identify that something is unusual.
security is everyone’s responsibility. Even seemingly harmless behaviors or small mistakes can have big consequences. Security awareness training helps get everyone in an organization on the same page, reduces risks and incidents, and helps the entire workforce protect their organization and themselves.
It takes time to educate the board of your company. You need to take action. You can’t wait for actions to be taken.
Training the board members and stakeholder on security issues at any organization is a real challenge and is a double edge sword of very little time and high level of commitment. Aspire Tech designed an effective training for board members and it very simple, short and conducted on an annual or semiannual basis. Once they are properly trained (and we mean every member of the board), they can then align the rest of the business.
At board-level advisory training, we will:
- Present easy-to-understand industry and business-specific cyber-security threats and risk management strategies
- Identify security challenges for an organization
- Advise you on cyber-security governance and compliance
- How to develop cyber-security framework for your organization
We will help you translate this information into actions and provide relevant feedback to help your C-level executive and board make informed decisions.
Security awareness training top down
The fix for modern cyber-security issues is about people as much as it is about technology. Your board and stakeholder must become a catalyst for change by setting the tone for security at the top. As regulations tighten up on the stakeholder and board members around duty of care, now is the perfect time to involve security awareness training to your board. In fact, the tone for cyber-security awareness must begin at the top.
Focusing on strong cyber-security knowledge for your C-suite will likely have the added bonus of planting a seed of a security-aware culture at your organization. By taking the initiative to engage in training designed for them, leaders can foster such a culture while equipping themselves against cyber-threats.
How can you involve security awareness to your board members?
In a 2016 Ponemon Institute study, which looked at risk management, they found that 63% of executives felt they did not have accountability or responsibility for cyber security. The study also found that 50% of respondents felt that risk management was not aligned with business goals and that board directors were not engaged in the process. There needs to be a shift in perception to accommodate a shift in strategy to then mitigate cyber-risk.
Once security awareness training has been customised for the needs of your organisation and aligned with your goals you will see major benefits in its use. Security awareness training empowers everyone across your company. Done well, it can enhance your operations by enabling the safe use of new technologies by mitigating risk.
