Cyber resilience for high-growth boards

Rapid growth, rather than cyber resilience, is the first priority of scaleups and investment-backed businesses. Yet sustainable growth isn't possible if your organisation cannot assure customers of its cyber resilience, or survive a cyberattack.

This webinar will explore how growth-oriented boards can embed cyber resilience into governance practices - especially under the pressures of investor scrutiny, and exit readiness.

This session is designed for board members, investors and advisors of growth companies. It will be held under Chatham House rules.
