The Board's Role in Cyber Security

A cyber-attack can swiftly put an organisation on its knees, causing huge amounts of damage both reputationally and financially.

In this article, Criticaleye speaks to Bill Payne, a Board Mentor at Criticaleye and former Non-executive Chair of Atento and Reece Donovan, CEO of Iomart Group, about what Boards need to get right and some of the key questions to ask, such as:

• When was the last penetration test?

• What did it reveal?

• What are the vulnerabilities in all our systems?

• What insurance cover do we have in place?
