A new training program, Risk Reporting to the Board for Modern CISOs, has been launched to help Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) effectively communicate cybersecurity risks to business decision-makers. This program aims to bridge the communication gap between CISOs and boards, ensuring that security decisions are aligned with business goals and long-term growth. The program addresses the need for CISOs to translate technical issues into business terms, helping boards understand how cyber risk affects revenue, governance, and growth. It focuses on practical skills such as creating concise presentations, building dashboards that tie technical findings to business impact, and framing budget requests in financial and strategic terms. The course is led by Dr. Gerald Auger, who has extensive experience in both industry and academia. It covers key areas such as the board's view of risk, clear risk communication, high-impact presentations, stronger business cases, and operationalizing Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).
