Board Table Top Exercise: A Realistic Ransom-Scenario Discussion

Board members are being advised to assess cybersecurity exposures at their companies. But how is a board member to tackle this topic when it is clearly management’s job to handle operational issues like cybersecurity? And does the board have the knowledge required to conduct such an assessment?

The board's role, as always, is to ask the right questions, help set priorities, demand accountability, and serve as a strategic resource. A process-oriented, systematic approach to surfacing cyber-threat issues is consistent with this role.

Join us for a board-level cybersecurity tabletop exercise where we will discuss:

• An overview of current trends in cybersecurity threats including ransomware and supply chain compromises
• The board's role before, during, and after an incident
• Regulatory expectations of a board's oversight of an incident and how to avoid liability
• An incident scenario to guide discussion
