Boards have a fiduciary responsibility in their governance capacity to set the tone with their vigilance and demonstrate the criticality of cybersecurity risk management.
With CISOs required to present to their boards, they now face the challenge of articulating cybersecurity risks and opportunities, according to a survey by FTI Consulting.

While a number of useful countermeasures are being taken across corporate boards, progress remains relatively slow in the face of borderline existential threats.

There is more security training and better hygiene and most boards now count a seasoned CISO as one of their directors.
