Program Overview:
Cybersecurity Strategies for Executives

Accelerated by the global pandemic, IT professionals have been working around the clock to prevent possible data breaches with most employees working remotely. Nevertheless, cybersecurity goes beyond having a technical background – it is a strategic business decision.

In this day and age, phishing, ransomware, malware, and social engineering – types of cyberthreats that your organization is at risk of – are concepts that all managers should be familiar with, regardless of their area of expertise. For professionals, understanding these threats has become critical to an organization’s success.

The internet has become a key driver in the modern world, powering connectivity on a global scale. But as the internet becomes vital in sharing and storing personal data, cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated at data breaches and cyberattacks.

To remain ahead of these potential leaks and cyberthreats, executives across an organization require the knowledge and skills to implement and oversee a rigorous and high-quality cybersecurity strategy. In this eight-week online program from Chicago Booth, you will learn how to play an integral role in protecting your organization against cyberthreats in this increasingly digital world.
