Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorised access. Cybersecurity ranked as a top risk for governing bodies trailing only the economy and the regulatory environment. Governing bodies acknowledge cybersecurity as an urgent Global issue, but are failing to make the connection between the pervasiveness of cyber threats and their organisation’s vulnerabilities. With cybersecurity continually being focused on as a key risk area, governing bodies should review their specific approach to oversight of this risk and, where applicable, examine the role of the audit committee in coordinating with management and the entire governing body for assessing and responding to cybersecurity threats.

Cybersecurity - its not just about security
