The Birmingham Business School Advisory Board Guest Lecture

Cyber business resilience in a world of increasing digitisation and growing geo-political uncertainty

Graham Ingram, Chief Information Security Officer, Capgemini

In the wake of a significant growth in cyber-attacks affecting businesses, academia, government, healthcare, and Critical National Infrastructure, how can business leaders be expected to understand this crucial but complex environment? Our increasing reliance on digital ways of working is often not fully understood until our systems are compromised and the business is unable to function. Cyber professionals must be able to explain the cyber threat, and the effectiveness of mitigations provided by cyber security, in a way that business leaders can understand and own the risk.
