Advancing Risk Governance: How Executives Make Informed Cyber Decisions
What if a single control could eliminate most of your cybersecurity risk—would you use it?
Cyber insurers consistently point to legal liability as your greatest exposure. The best predictor of post-breach legal costs isn’t the breach itself—it’s whether you can prove your cybersecurity program was reasonable.
Reasonableness doesn’t mean perfection. It means showing you made balanced, cost-justified decisions to reduce risks to the public as well as your business. Regulators and litigators evaluate how much you invested relative to the risks you sought to prevent. When a breach happens, they’ll find weaknesses—but what matters is whether your program was built to achieve fair, defensible outcomes.
Today, regulators increasingly define “reasonable” cybersecurity as: Safeguards that reduce risk to the public without being more burdensome than the risk itself.
Chris will walk you through how to break free from compliance checklists and maturity scores—and instead build a defensible risk management program that can withstand attackers, auditors, and attorneys.
