Cyber Security Leadership
It's a Board Level Responsibility
"Board members don't need to be technical experts, but they need to know enough about cyber security to be able to have a fluent conversation with their experts, and understand the right questions to ask"

What is Cyber Security?
According to the UK's National Cyber Security (NCSC), the term cyber security is defined as:
The Protection of Devices, Services and Networks
AND THE INFORMATION ON THEM
from Theft or Damage.
IMPACT
CLIMATE CHANGE
The ultimate aim of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is to prevent “dangerous” human interference with the climate system.
The potential impact from climate change and biodiversity loss includes large-scale food insecurity, water insecurity, health insecurity, infrastructure insecurity and energy insecurity.
If our climate change data is not collected, stored, processed and exchanged securely, there is a risk of uninformed and inappropriate decisions being made by those in authority.
Why it's Important
RISK
PHYSICAL & FINANCIAL RISK
According to the Bank of England, climate change poses different risks to the stability of the financial system. Physical risks such as flooding, droughts, heatwaves and storms directly impact our society, increasing insurance claims and affecting our economy.
If we are to effectively mitigate high-impact risks we must stop the pattern of misusing technological solutions, utilising corrupt or inappropriate data sets and mismanaging our high-impact projects and programmes.
LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE
Effective leadership is vital if we are going to successfully manage and mitigate existential risks such as climate change.
The terms threat, vulnerability and risk are frequently and mistakenly used interchangeably.
Leaders negotiating international agreements in high-impact risk programmes need to understand both the risks and the opportunities enabled by technological solutions.

Pause For Thought
WELCOME TO THE CYBER C-SUITE
As you’re probably already aware, the ‘C’ in the C-suite stands for CHIEF. It’s important to understand the scope of all the Chief roles and responsibilities in your own organization. As a leader within your organisation, if you don’t actually know who is accountable, responsible and liable for protecting your organization from cyber attacks, breaches of legislation and regulation...how can you be certain it’s not you...?
"Serious and organised crime continues to kill more people than any other national security threat, and has a corrosive impact on the UK and its citizens. Each of us is affected by it in some way. As a result, each and every one of us has a role to play in fighting it" [Lynne Owens Director General National Crime Agency (NCA)]
But what exactly is Serious and Organised Crime? And as a leader, why do you need to understand the potential impact of SOC within your organisation?
In January 2019, The House of Lords identified and published priority risk areas for the UK from threats presented by climate change:
-
flooding and coastal change
-
health, wellbeing and productivity
-
water supply shortages
-
natural ecosystems, soils and biodiversity
-
food production and trade
-
new and emerging pests and diseases
