Cybersecurity: The 2023 Board Perspective

With the disruption caused by the pandemic now largely behind us, many in the boardroom could be forgiven for thinking the CISO would take on a less prominent role this year. But another bumper 12 months in cybersecurity quickly laid that notion to rest.

With most organisations now tasked with securing a much larger attack surface, cyber criminals are increasingly targeting our people. At the same time, ongoing tensions between Russia, Ukraine and NATO have once again brought state-sponsored threat actors to the fore.

High-profile data breaches, a rise in ransomware and disruptive attacks on the supply chain have also laid bare the many devastating consequences of cyber threats. With the potential damage stretching beyond revenues, the board needs a cybersecurity perspective now more than ever to safeguard company reputation, protect customers and avoid costly business disruption.
