Best Practices For Board-Level Cybersecurity Oversight
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, May 20th, 2025
Corporate boards must play an increasingly active role in overseeing cybersecurity strategies. Here's what they need to know, from SEC disclosure requirements to best practices.
In an era of escalating digital threats, the corporate board finds itself under increasing pressure to provide meaningful cybersecurity oversight.
Since 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has mandated that public companies disclose their board-level cybersecurity oversight practices in annual filings, underscoring the fact that cyber-risk is now a fundamental aspect of corporate governance. To meet these obligations effectively, boards must establish clear governance structures, engage proactively with cybersecurity leaders and integrate cyber-resilience into broader business strategies.
