As digital threats grow in scale and sophistication, security has evolved from a technical concern managed by IT departments into a critical business risk that demands attention at the highest level of leadership. Cyber incidents, data breaches and system vulnerabilities now carry significant financial, operational and reputational consequences, placing security firmly on the CEO’s agenda. This panel brings together perspectives from security, technology, governance and executive leadership to reflect on how organisations are responding to this shift. It will also consider the challenges of bridging the gap between technical risk and strategic decision-making, highlighting why effective security now requires board-level engagement, accountability and a culture of shared responsibility.
