Message to the Board: Stop being an Ostrich when it comes to Cyber Security – Trust, but verify
I just gave this presentation to nearly 200 attendees of the ICTTF Cyber Threat Summit 2015 in Dublin, Ireland.
For those of you that attended; thank you!
Through this presentation I hope I was able to communicate three points:
- How company/agency executives put their agencies at risk by blindly trusting that they are doing all that can be done to secure their networks, applications and data;
- That leadership’s approach to motivating employee’s to practice better cyber hygiene needs to mimic principles of behavioral economics theory that advertisers use; and
- By changing the way they ask questions to their senior staff (mainly their CIO/CISO), they can a) have better proof that necessary cyber protections are in-place, and b) they will have a better understanding of the unaddressed cyber risk their company/agency faces.
