Within the boardroom, cyber security isn’t optional—it’s imperative. For Boards and the C-suite, comprehending the extensive implications of cyber security is crucial. It’s not solely about mitigating attacks; it encompasses the broader responsibility of protecting the organisation’s integrity, preserving its reputation, and steering informed decisions.

Layer 8’s Cyber Security Executive Workshop is a response to this imperative. Designed for senior leadership, it addresses the complexities of the current cyber security landscape, marked by rapidly changing and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This workshop equips leaders with practical knowledge and actionable strategies to identify, manage, and mitigate cyber security risks. With a focus on governance, risk management, and compliance, leaders will leave with comprehensive security solutions and practices, and the ability to reinforce organisational security posture in the face of the current cyber landscape.
