Course for a board member

Munesh — Mon, 26 May 2025 12:45:12 GMT

Hello All,

Our board members want to learn more about cybersecurity. They are keen to learn cybersecurity governance. They want a short course. Can someone guide.

Preferably with a certification

Cheers

A number of companies do Risk Management and Compliance education for BoD's.

Here is a list of a few of them:

https://boardsource.org/

https://www.icd.ca/

You would need to look at their programs to determine if they can assist you or not.

Additionally, talk to the Audit department (they sometimes have a member of their staff that attends Board meetings) and they might be able to talk to your external Audit firm and ask for recommendations.

However, I would suggest that you be part of whoever's presentation and follow-up with things they may have missed.

Do you currently do Security Awareness trainings for all levels of the organisation? That is do you tailor your program specific to segments of the org?

Others?????

@Munesh

Sounds like the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) would be a good course and certification to suggest they look into: https://www.isc2.org/certifications/cc & https://www.isc2.org/landing/1mcc
