WTW: Cyber Security Awareness Month - Prepare and Protect

October marks Cyber Security Awareness Month, and WTW's campaign offers topical insights for risk management, with key tools and knowledge for safeguarding against cyber risks effectively. 

'In today's digital age, a cyber incident isn't a matter of 'if', but 'when'. Proactive planning can mean the difference between a manageable incident and a full-blown crisis.'

WTW's campaign focuses on how to identify, quantify and protect against cyber risks in a way that is applicable to any industry. 

The emphasis is on steps to Prepare and Protect your organisation through their two-part mantra of:

1. Prepare - Starting by assessing risks, identifying vulnerabilities, and planning for potential incidents. 

2. Protect - Implementing the necessary controls and measures to safeguard against identified risks. 

Some key resources and articles to highlight for NEDs include:

• Human capital and risk governance: Insider threats to cybersecurity

• The Rising Frequency of D&O Exposures Following Material Cyber Incidents
