Cyber Oversight in Practice – A Strategic Roundtable for Directors

This exclusive roundtable session, Cyber Oversight in Practice, is designed to help board directors build practical confidence in navigating cyber governance discussions and risk.

With a focus on collaboration and shared learnings, this deep-dive will equip board members with the confidence and perspective needed to effectively oversee cyber risk – strengthening the ability to engage with management, interpret cyber updates, and hold the organisation to account on cyber resilience.

The discussion introduces a series of short, realistic situations that reflect common board-level engagements with management – such as cyber strategy briefings, operational updates, or risk reports. 

Key Takeaways from this discussion include: 

• How to engage meaningfully with management about cybersecurity strategy, priorities, and risk appetite

• What effective cyber reporting looks like at board level and how to spot red flags in how progress or maturity is being presented

• How boards can better interrogate operational or cultural aspects of cyber beyond compliance metrics

• How directors can shift from passive oversight to proactive, informed cyber governance
