BOARD CYBER ADVISORY
Be Cyber Secure: Board Cyber Advisory Service
In the wake of recent cyber security breaches in Australia and elsewhere around the world, the role of Board Education and Cyber Advisory services has never been more critical. The increasing frequency and severity of these incidents have highlighted the vulnerability of companies to cyber threats and the profound impact they can have on a company’s reputation and financial stability. The decision making of their Board has also been publicly scrutinised.
"Directors have a critical role to play and must seek to lift their own cyber literacy levels, recognising that this is a key risk that can never be eliminated but can be effectively managed."
Introducing Board Cyber Advisory Service by Insicon
Our Board Cyber Advisory Service empowers directors with the knowledge and resources they need to effectively prepare for, and govern through, cyber crises.
This service is extremely complimentary to the Cyber Security Governance Principles, crafted by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). The Principles offer a hands-on guide designed to empower Australian directors to confidently navigate and engage with their management teams on cyber security risks. This initiative stems from member's feedback who recognise the substantial threats cyber incidents pose to their organisations but sometimes find themselves without the right tools or understanding to effectively collaborate with management.
Yet to an uneducated Board, these Principles can seem overwhelming - and that's where Insicon can assist to ensure your board is prepared, informed, and confident in its decision-making.
Size Makes Little Difference
Cyber security threats are a constant concern for organisations of all sizes. All organisations can be susceptible to a single attack which can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and permanently damage your reputation.
"Cyber risk is relative to all organisations. Being aware, being cyber aware, is absolutely critical to all organisations, small to large."
AICD and AISA Working Together
In May 2024, the AICD published 'A Cyber Security Handbook for Small Business and NFP Directors' a joint initiative with the Australian Information Security Association as a resource to assist the directors of SMEs and NFPs to enhance the cyber security posture of these businesses without introducing unnecessary complexity or operational burden.
