As organizations increasingly rely on new technologies, stakeholders make a significant effort to understand the organization’s cybersecurity issues and, thus, demand more information about cybersecurity risks and management.

This course provides finance and accounting (F&A) professionals with an overview of cybersecurity incident response and disclosure requirements.
