Episode 7: Communicating to the board and other decision-makers

How do you communicate the risk of a ransomware attack or potential information security breach to key decision-makers?
Heather Lowrie, CISO and Fellow of CIISec, explains the real skill for cyber security professionals is the ability to strike a balance of communicating clear and concise messages that allow non-subject specialists to make informed decisions based on core risk principles. 
Our latest #CyberSessions podcast looks at how to communicate cyber risks and threats to a board and other key decision-makers.   Hosted by Scott Banks, Information and Cyber Security Risk at Standard Chartered, Heather and Scott look at some of the pitfalls of using technical jargon and how any cyber attack should evoke embedded organisational crisis communications and incident response plans.
