Cyber War: Is Your Board Battle Ready?
Hear from expert panelists David Finn, former Assoc. General Counsel & Executive Director, Microsoft Cybercrime Center; Norm Fjeldheim, CIO, Illumina, Inc., former CIO, Qualcomm, Inc.; and Philip Celestini, Cyber Division Section Chief, FBI, Washington D.C.
Few matters engender a greater sense of helplessness and uncertainty to businesses than the ever-present danger of cyber-attacks. Some are embarrassing (think DNC hack) while other can cripple organizations with critical infrastructure damage, intellectual property theft, and reputational damage. Are we at “war”? We will cover the topic looking at the role of the board and upper management. While anything "cyber" may sound like an IT issue, it really cannot be handed off to the tech department or a risk committee. It can be a hot potato for boards where few directors feel they have enough information to adequately oversee cyber and technology issues. Info: 858-455-7930.
