Boardroom Discussions - Why Cyber Security Has Become a Boardroom Concern?

At the third session of the “Boardroom Discussions – Digital Transformation from CEO Perspective” program, Mr Vanja Švajcer, Senior Security Researcher - Cisco Talos and Ms Martina Herceg Jungić, Security Manager, Central region, Cisco, talked about cyber security as an integral part of digital transformation of every company.

Digital transformation has allowed companies to transform and stay competitive by leveraging the world of technologies such as Cloud, IoT, Big Data or even Artificial Intelligence. If performed well, this journey allows companies to be more efficient and improve productivity while supporting intelligent decision making processes in order to provide better services to their customers.

However, as companies have become more digital, their exposure to cyber threats has tremendously increased. With data residing outside of the traditional perimeter (e.g. Cloud, mobile, Critical Infrastructure…), companies are facing a whole new range of threats able to put their operations and intellectual property at risk or even, an end to their existence (e.g. loss of sensitive customer data, ransomware, denial of service…)

Through that cyber security becomes a driver for a company's digital transformation: understanding critical operations and how to securely deliver them remains vital for company and as such, has become a boardroom discussion.

How digitalization and cyber security strategy go hand in hand, why cyber security topics belong to the boardroom and how this can reduce risk from cyber security threats were topics at the center of this discussion.

Discussions from Boardroom Discussions program tackle strategic issues business leaders currently face, including challenges, dilemmas and different approaches related to digital transformation. Digital transformation requires strong leadership to drive change and a vision which parts of the company you want to transform and insights into best practices in Croatia are the first step in that direction.
