Cybersecurity: Governance and Risk Environment   

Course Details

As cybersecurity threats increase, organizations find it necessary to establish new policies to monitor these risks. These policies then lead to redefined roles and responsibilities within the organization.

This course provides the big picture: cybersecurity governance strategic planning, organizational structure, the establishment of roles and responsibilities, integration with the enterprise architecture, and the documentation of security objectives in policies and guidance.

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

• identify roles and functions for cybersecurity governance and cybersecurity management
• describe finance and accounting professionals' responsibilities in cybersecurity management.

This is the second of four courses that make up the Cybersecurity: Navigating the Digital Era series:

• The first course in the series provides finance and accounting professionals with foundational knowledge of cybersecurity standards and best practices used to protect the organization's assets.
• The third course in the series provides finance and accounting (F&A) professionals with an overview of cybersecurity incident response and disclosure. Also discussed: the topic of incident response and how F&A professionals can contain and remediate the loss caused by cybersecurity incidents and improve future cybersecurity effectiveness.
• The fourth course in the series gives finance and accounting professionals an overview of the different roles and responsibilities of management, regulators, and auditors in cybersecurity disclosure.
