PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, the only secure system is one that is unplugged, turned off and in a locked room. However, since it is clearly not practical to leave our systems turned off or shutdown, it is critical that we understand the risks our systems are exposed to and take the necessary measures to defend them.
This program is designed to help participants understand, assess and take a proactive posture in cybersecurity; and understand why cybersecurity is a board level responsibility, and how to manage and mitigate cyber risks.
At the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Learn the anatomy of a cyber-attack;
- Gain knowledge about the threat environment including the latest trends in cyber-attacks;
- Gain understanding on requirements from different regulators pertaining to IT, data protection, etc.;
- Gain understanding on how to map security obligations by role across the organisation;
- Provide directors with handles on what to look out for in overseeing cybersecurity risks;
- Learn takeaway tips for protecting company and personal information.
Who should attend?
- Directors of financial institutions
- Anyone else who may find the program helpful
Should the Covid situation worsen and infection rates rise, we may resort to conducting the programs online or via a hybrid mode. In the event that that happens, please rest assured that participants will be notified ahead of time.
