Non-exec directors: Understand cyber security risks

摘要

Non-executive directors have a responsibility to understand cyber security risks and resilience in order to best protect the interests of their business, according to United Kingdom based Axelos Global Best Practice. A discussion paper from Axelos calls for more training on cyber security risks and resilience for non-executive directors on company boards. 'Mind the Information Gap: Non-Executive Directors and Professional Development' identifies that non-executive directors on audit and risk committees are in a unique position to improve the resilience of their companies-but that many may not currently have access to the training and skills necessary to do so.
