Every business leader understands that no business is safe from cybersecurity threats. We are all vulnerable. And there is a high price – financially and reputationally – to pay for large security breaches or loss of service. Protecting the organisation from a cyber attack is the responsibility of the board. Every board member must accept the company will be subject to criminal or malicious cyber activity on a regular basis. The best defence lies in good governance, robust processes and a company culture that faces the problem head on and solve the issue quickly.
