Cyber Risk Management for Non-IT Managers

CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT FOR NON-IT MANAGERS

This course is targeted at those who need to understand the means by which we can build cyber resilience.

You may be starting out in a junior management position, or you may be an experienced manager. We all need to understand the fundamentals of how we can manage cyber risks by also comprehending what facets of cyber risk management impact upon our decision making, acts and omissions, as well as how to undertake a cyber risk quantification exercise.
What we aim to achieve, with your participation, is the provision of the knowledge and insights to enable you to go away from the course with the ability to develop your own skills and create cyber operational resilience programmes – either in part, or in whole.
During the course, we aim to eliminate of some common misconceptions of cyber risk and resilience and a new way of viewing what the problem is and how to better manage the problem.
What we are not going to do is go into a detailed discussion on technology, computer science, risk models and so forth because they only form part of the overall landscape and it will remain too theoretical for you to use in a practical sense at work.
Those undertaking the course should be able to go back to their roles and meaningfully contribute to cyber risk management and resilience in a hands-on manner and that determines the format of today.
