Pam Lassiter, Host of the CEO Academy, interviews Maria Kussmaul, Co-Founder and Partner at AGC Partners/ Head of the IT security sector for this global boutique investment bank, about “The CEO’s Role in Cyber Risks to the Enterprise”. Given the multiple large cyber-incursions into corporations, governments, military, and financial systems, CEOs and Boards all need to ensure their enterprise strategies and practices to manage risk. Maria provides you with your system for oversight:
1.Hygiene: basics including employee training, structure, off-boarding, etc.
2.Asset Classification: what’s core to your success as a company? What is peripheral? Are they guarded in “rings of protection”?
3.Extended Enterprise: the riskiest category. Who’s accessing your system from the outside and how well are they vetted and limited?
4.Compliance versus security. Having boxes checked off on your Audit Report doesn’t mean you have the protection you need.
