Cybersecurity has become a common discussion topic for boards of directors (BoDs) across all industries.

Expert(s): Richard Addiscott, Paul Proctor, Tom Scholtz, Alex Michael, Paul Furtado, Lisa Neubauer

Cybersecurity leaders should use the resources and templates to ensure that they are delivering key messages that resonate with the board and to assist in driving high-quality information risk decisions.

Eighty-eight percent of respondents to the 2022 Gartner View from the Board of Directors (BoD) Survey now regard cybersecurity as a business risk, and not a technology problem. As a result of this trend, cybersecurity leaders are increasingly being asked to present on a wide range of cybersecurity topics. These include:

  • Raising the BoD’s cybersecurity literacy and outlining its role in addressing the organization’s risks
  • Outlining how the cybersecurity program is helping the organization meet its compliance obligations
  • Providing an overview of the latest trends, threats or incidents that are prominent in the media or being discussed on other boards
