Board Education: Earning A Cyber Risk & Strategy Certification

Directors know that cybersecurity is one of the most pressing issues to address today, but it’s often a significant challenge for boards to navigate these risks effectively. The Diligent Institute Cyber Risk & Strategy Certification was borne out of directors’ desire to upskill in cybersecurity, better govern enterprise-wide cyber risks and have more meaningful conversations with management.

 

In this episode of Inside Today’s Boardrooms, Dottie Schindlinger, Executive Director of the Diligent Institute, and Sandy Garfinkel, Co-Chair of the Privacy & Data Security Group at McNees Wallace & Nurick, explore some highlights of the program, including how the certification helps board members comply with the SEC’s proposed rules on board oversight of cybersecurity.
