Cybersecurity: Uncovering Regulations and Reporting   

Course Details

As organizations increasingly rely on new technologies, cybersecurity incidents rise. Regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, require companies to report protocols and cybersecurity incidents promptly. Consequently, many organizations face challenges in the disclosure of these incidents.

This course gives finance and accounting (F&A) professionals an overview of the different roles and responsibilities of management, regulators, and auditors in cybersecurity disclosure. Cybersecurity’s ESG impact and ESG risk management strategies are discussed specifically since cyber risk is the most immediate and financially material sustainability risk that organizations face today.

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

• identify the objectives of a cybersecurity risk management program
• list the key regulations and reporting frameworks, including ESG reporting frameworks, related to cybersecurity and consumer privacy.

This is the fourth 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 second course in the series gives participants 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.
• The third course in the series provides finance and accounting (F&A) professionals with an overview of cybersecurity incident response and disclosure requirements. 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.
