Oxford Cyber Risk for Leaders Programme
Any organisation that relies on computer networks, digital information, the Internet or an Intranet is vulnerable to cyber security risks. Sabotage, hacking, malware, even uncontrolled use of social media: all these can lead to financial loss, disruption of your operations or service, and, inevitably, reputational damage. The threats are real, and they are changing all the time.
Managing these risks is not the sole responsibility of the IT department, or even of your Chief Information Security Officer (if you have one). As a leader, it is your job to understand and oversee your organisation’s response to cyber risk.
This programme will enable you develop leadership skills in the cyber arena, and to take effective action when dealing with an incident. It will help you build an awareness of the kinds of threat your business is likely to be facing, the operational dilemmas you will need to address, and, crucially, what questions you should be asking of your security advisors.
Building on world-leading research into cyber-security, and drawing on cross-disciplinary expertise from throughout the University of Oxford, the programme combines interactive lectures with simulations and discussions based on real, current cases. You need no background in cyber security: the focus is on general managers and directors.
