PDA Cybersecurity Board Training
OVERVIEW
The Private Director’s Association is proud to present the PDA Cybersecurity Board Training, designed in collaboration with Blue Team Con. This all-day training targets directors of company boards and also those who aspire to become one and prepares them for participation in the board of the future with greater understanding, support, and governance of cybersecurity practices in companies. While not a certification, the training will provide a certificate of completion and an opportunity to empower the participant with a firm grounding in cybersecurity at the board level, and a cohort of experts and peers with which to network. The instructors have been curated from leading organizations and range from enterprise CISOs to top consultants in the industry to seasoned board members who have helped define the board cybersecurity role.
New SEC regulations require that board cybersecurity expert be listed in their 10-K reports along with protective and detective measures. While this does not legally affect private boards, PDA considers the requirement to be good practice and, furthermore, recommends that all board members receive basic cybersecurity training. Leading organizations do not wait for regulation to lead them and neither should their boards!
The PDA Cybersecurity Board Training provides a full day of panels, workshops, and tabletop exercises. Coffee, lunch, and an evening networking dinner with instructors and PDA committee members are included. This training also includes a full pass for the 2-day Blue Team Con conference on August 26th-27th.
