Even as today’s Cyber risk landscape makes it clear that CISOs and Risk Executives should be prepared to both prevent and respond to a crisis, research from FTI Consulting shows over half of CISOs do not believe that their Board and senior leadership are completely prepared for cyber risks, and 63% feel that their concerns do not align.

In this session, we will outline the ways that communications and legal functions interplay during an incident, and discuss two key avenues through which CISOs and Risk Executives can improve their preparedness –

1) Bridge the gap between senior executives by honing communications skills and aligning on key priorities to improve your organizations’ risk profiles.
2) Incident response planning to help mitigate legal and reputational risk, and help alleviate pressure on CISOs.
