Course Overview
As cyber risk becomes a board-level concern, organisations must align cybersecurity with financial risk strategies and insurance coverage. This course equips professionals with the skills to evaluate cyber insurance policies and effectively communicate risk to executive stakeholders.
Delivered in a mentor-led format, the programme focuses on real-world scenarios such as analysing policy coverage, understanding underwriting requirements, and preparing incident disclosures. Participants will engage in hands-on labs, roleplay exercises, and boardroom simulations to practice CISO-to-board communication.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to bridge the gap between technical risk and business impact, enabling better decision-making at the executive level. This training is ideal for professionals involved in risk, governance, and cybersecurity leadership.
