The details and implications are complex and barely touched on by the frequent 30 second television spots by both the pro and con groups.
Artificial intelligence, blockchain, robotics, 3D printing, and the internet of things are set to supercharge supply chains.
"News stories about cyberattacks usually focus on what happened, with little about the 'how' and almost nothing about the 'why.’"
"Cyberattacks are frequent and dangerous. ... Every manager knows it. But they still get things wrong with cybersecurity. All the time.”
"Unless organizations study the 'why,' the circumstances that made the cyberattack possible won't be addressed."
"The era of nuclear testing may now be over, but the age of cyber warfare is just beginning."
Cyber risk and cybersecurity are a source of frustration for executives and government officials who spend inordinate time and worry trying to protect their data from sophisticated phishing schemes, ransomware, and state-sponsored hacking. However, cybersecurity issues are not purely a technology problem—they are multi-headed hydras that need to be addressed with a multi-disciplinary approach. This cybersecurity course is not intended to provide guidance on IT infrastructure or troubleshooting, rather it focuses on the humanistic and managerial aspects of cybersecurity. As a participant in this cyber security training for executives course, you will be provided with a framework of managerial protocols to follow, resulting in a personalized playbook with actionable next steps towards creating a more cyber-aware culture within your organization.
