Overview

Cyberattacks do not only happen to large public corporations. Private companies are targets in their own right and have the added risk of being viewed as pathways to vendors, suppliers or larger companies. The pace of cyberattacks and ransomware demands is escalating. It is a question of when, not if, a company will face a cyber threat. Boards of Directors need to understand and approach cybersecurity as a strategic enterprise risk with significant potential financial, operational, and reputational impact.  Join the Colorado Chapter on March 3, 2022, to learn key cybersecurity oversight strategies and best practices for board cybersecurity governance.  

Thank you to our National and Gold Chapter Sponsors!
