Rotman-ICPM Cybersecurity Risk Oversight
Cybersecurity is one of the most complex and rapidly evolving issues for pension organizations to oversee. Pension funds can be hit with significant consequences as a result of a cyber incident, including loss of data, reputational damage, declining member trust, and financial ramifications due to ransom payouts. In an age when cyber incidents are inevitable, pension boards and their enterprise risk leaders play a unique role in ensuring the organization is well-prepared, protected, and able to effectively respond when an incident occurs..
The ICPM and the Rotman School of Management have created the Cybersecurity Risk Oversight program to equip pension fund leaders—including boards, CEOs, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Information Security Officers, and those overseeing enterprise risk management—with the latest best practices in governance for the proper oversight of cyber risks.
