Cyber Security for Non-Security Professionals
We all need to understand the basics of financial management even if we aren’t a CFO, an accountant or some other finance professional. Similarly, we need to understand how cyber risk affects our everyday lives, as business leaders and managers, and as individuals with increasingly digital personal lives. We also need to be able to engage with security professionals, take guidance, and set direction.
Read our Cyber Security for Non-Security Professionals (CS4NSP) series of articles intended for people who don’t do Cyber and Information Security as their day job but who need to have a basic understanding of what it is all about.
