03 Nov Understanding Today’s Cyber Risk Landscape – Will your CEO be Fired?
When a company is hacked it is usually an issue for the IT department. Cyber crime is reported to cost businesses about $100 billion in the U.S. yearly. The average cost of a data breach for companies with 1,000 employees is estimated at $15.4 million., according to a study commissioned by IBM. This is an 82% increase from 2009. Some companies have reported losses in excess of $65 million.
Target and Sony’s CEO’s lost their jobs as a results of their breaches. The message is poor cybersecurity planning and response can get them fired. Jeff Immelt, CEO GE, personally leads the company’s cyber task force. However, far to many CEO’s and their boards don’t know how to best, lead, fund and take a very active role in planning and response plans that are continually updated.
The Fusion Executive Summit, produced by WTN Media, November 9 in Madison, will addresses the fact that cyber security has shifted from IT to a boardroom issue. Key members of the cyber task force should not only include the Chief Security Officer, CIO and Chief Risk Officer,but also the CFO, General Counsel and VP of Corporate Communications.
Attendees will take part in seven interactive session featuring experts who will describe the latest risk factors and solutions, including ways to protect your board members from personal liability. Companies need to orchestrate a comprehensive cyber security plan designed to protect their enterprise resources in the face of daily cyber attacks.
