Cyber Risk and Governance in Changing Times

In the first of a series of Cyber Risk Events at PRMIA, we will look at a risk management definition of cyber risk and how the risk management professional can work with their colleagues in IT, management and on the board to manage this risk. More relevant in 2020, we will look at whether there is an industry wide risk in the forced and rapid move to online business and remote access / working from home that came upon us with social distancing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Can board members assure their stakeholders that this was done in a prudent manner and how do they communicate this to more technical IT colleagues?
  • How can the risk professional help with this process?
  • Does the “3 Layers of Defense” help in managing Cyber Risk?

This will be the first in a series of Cyber events for PRMIA and relates to a call for papers from the PRMIA Institute this summer on topics such as Cyber as well as Climate, Model and COVID-19 Risks.
