Board and Executive Cyber Risk Training FAQs
How does N2K design these programs to be effective?
The Executive Cyber Risk Seminar is an immersive experience designed to familiarize business leaders with governance-related cybersecurity topics. It features a team delivery using a combination of board facilitators and cybersecurity experts, and adds real-world applicability through speakers, field strategists, and practitioners. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in strategic discussions and interactive activities, including a cybersecurity tabletop exercise, a breach simulation designed to provide attendees with actionable tools for managing cyber risks facing their organization.
As a board member, why should I care about cybersecurity specifics?
While it is not necessary for board members and executives to understand the specifics of every cybersecurity threat, being cybersecurity literate is intrinsically valuable. Our seminars enable board members to make sound and informed business decisions related to risk in an increasingly complex global business environment.
