In part 1 of our 2-part interview, Chief Executive caught up with Chertoff to talk about cyber threats, what’s on the horizon in cybersecurity and what CEOs and directors need to know moving forward.
While companies fear the impact of a cyberattack, only 19 percent are highly confident in their organization’s ability to prevent and respond to a hack.
Understanding a company’s cybersecurity posture and risk management strategy is an essential element of thorough investment due diligence.
The man who built the U.S. Army’s cyber command says online threats are going get worse before they get better. But that doesn’t mean leaders are powerless. Here’s how to protect your information and leave no data behind.
A frank conversation on the responsibilities of company leadership with regard to cybersecurity, for both the C-Suite and the board, is long overdue.
Given the current cyber environment, one would expect cybersecurity assessment to be a standard component in the M&A due diligence tool kit. Surprisingly, that’s not always the case.
There are steps you and your organization can take to mitigate the impact of a security breach.
The idea of creating a cybersecurity Centers for Disease Control focused on gathering information and disseminating advice has been around for years, but the government can only do so much.
The ability to act decisively, communicate clearly and keep teams focused is critical to leading successfully in and through a crisis. But even more critical is how they have “made ready” the organization long beforehand.
Critics and issuers should read this statement carefully and step back to see how it is constructed. It may actually serve as a good model for issuers’ own procedures and disclosures on cybersecurity.
