Lessons learned from a real cyber attack with Mitigo

Event information

This webinar is brought to you in partnership with Mitigo.

A year on from the introduction of the Cyber Governance Code of Practice, many firms are still missing the mark - leaving critical risks unchecked and boards exposed. In this session, we’ll use a real-life example to demonstrate where organisations continue to go wrong and show how weak governance can lead to irreparable business damage.

Key topics

• A recap of the Cyber Governance Code of Practice and the five main themes.

• Practical takeaways on what good cyber governance looks like.
