New board picks face tech training as cyber risks loom
Board inductions are still blowing off the most dangerous tech risks out there. When new members get brought on, their training often treats cybersecurity, data protection, and safe AI use as totally optional checkboxes. This is a major gap, as these issues now directly threaten an organization's money, legal standing, and reputation. Cyber threats are a core governance problem, not just an IT headache. A single breach can halt operations, spill private customer info, and trigger massive fines. Data protection failures lead to lawsuits and destroy public trust. Board members need to grasp these realities to provide real oversight. Artificial intelligence adds another layer of risk alongside its benefits. Unchecked AI systems can...
