"Audit Committee Perspective on Cyber Issues" Webinar

You’re invited to Women Get On Board's Webinar on Thursday June 4, 2020:

"Audit Committee Perspective on Cyber Issues"

Virtual session proudly hosted by our National Strategic Partner, KPMG LLP

Cyber security is no longer just an IT problem – it's a significant business risk.
In the age of disruption and mounting online risks, digital security is a responsibility all departments must bear. That includes audit committees who need to become more flexible in their approach, dynamic in their execution, and in-tune with today's cyber risk environment.

Audit committees aren't the only line of defense, but they are critical nonetheless. With IT and information security professionals on the frontlines, it falls to audit committee members to support their efforts by building awareness around threats to their financial functions, promoting best practices, and making sure their organization is taking appropriate actions to shore its cyber defenses.
