Cyber risk management has moved from a technical reporting exercise to a board governance and capital allocation discipline. For boards, CFOs, audit committees, and regulated-industry leaders, the critical question is no longer whether cybersecurity controls exist; it is whether cyber exposure, compliance risk, breach cost, and operational resilience can be quantified well enough to support defensible decisions.
