Board members are prime targets for cyberattacks because of access to sensitive information. This resource, based on the fifth edition of the NACD-ISA Director’s Handbook on Cyber-Risk Oversight, offers practical steps to reduce that risk.
It covers common threats aimed at directors:
- Spear phishing and whaling attacks
- Executive impersonation and deepfakes
- Mobile device targeting
- Home network infiltration
It also explains how public information, like social media activity, can be used against directors by attackers.
The guidance includes simple habits to adopt:
- Usage of strong, unique passwords and a password manager
- Phishing resistant multi factor authentication
- Data backup using the 3-2-1 rule
- Separate personal and business accounts
- Set up backup communication channels to guard against deepfake scams
- Keep devices updated and use trusted software sources
