Overview of the webinar

Boards of directors must assure that their corporations safeguard company data and servers, use AI and other tools responsibly, and make the best use of new tech for their own boardwork. Our program gives boards and staff a solid work plan for this new digital oversight. Cybersecurity failures destroy companies, revenues and reputations. How effectively is data protected? How is AI shaking up your company, how well is it monitored, and is the board assuring it’s value as part of your strategic future? What happens when AI becomes a boardroom tool?

Why should you attend?

It makes for a great cartoon -- a classic boardroom, with a dozen old guys suffering through a presentation on cybersecurity, big data, AI and digital strategy from a young techie. But with all the acronyms, tech shorthand and numbers, their eyes glaze over.

The boardroom reality is less amusing. Global companies are plunging into the deep end of a digital technology pool, and boards of directors must suddenly come up to speed. Boards are working to improve their digital oversight for the company – huge cyberhacking losses and penalties assure that. But how do they get a handle on AI, cybersecurity, data, and the explosion in tech they now have a duty to monitor?
