Overview

What's the Core Concept behind achieving Board & C-Suite cyber readiness and organizational culture of cybersecurity?
How does the Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ help you achieve it?

“Companies have a 37.5% chance of being breached in the next 2 years and pay on average $9.9mm* per breach not because their technology or CISO are insufficient but because their Boards and Executive Teams are missing the protocol on how to develop and sustain a culture of cybersecurity from the Board down.”

Andrzej Cetnarski, Forbes Magazine

*At $11.1mm, healthcare is highest for 12th year in a row, and rising.

Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ 
for Boards & C-Suites

Cyber Nation Central® is dedicated to helping organizations in the US and around the globe solve the breach prevention gap by delivering insights, protocol, and advisory that, in as little as 7 hours, is able to help Boards and Executive Teams become fully cyber ready and capable of creating and sustaining a breach-deterrent culture of cybersecurity.
Is the Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ right for your Board & C-Suite?
Take our survey to find out if your Board & C-Suite is the right fit.

PART I - IMPLEMENT PROTOCOL

Give each Board Director and Executive the tools to master their individual and organizational cybersecurity and develop their personalized yet synchronized action blueprint so you operate “as one” to bring this cybersecure culture into your employee ranks.

STEP 1:
ASSESS YOUR "SELF"

As CEO, the ultimate responsibility for establishing a culture of cybersecurity in your organization lies with you. Leading by example, you must prioritize cybersecurity in your strategic decision-making and behavior to set the tone for your Executives, Board, and Employees. To do so, it's crucial that you and your Directors and Executives have a comprehensive awareness of the risks facing your organization, particularly those that make you the prime targets for cyber breaches."

​The Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™:

  • ​Enables you, your Directors, and Executives to set an example and foster a culture of cybersecurity that addresses vulnerabilities in your professional, personal, and family lives and those of your employees, thus enhancing your organization's breach deterrence.
  • ​Makes it harder for hackers to exploit these vulnerabilities and creates a confident, knowledgeable culture in your Board, C-Suite, employees, and third-party contractors. 
  • ​Ultimately, mitigates the human risks that account for up to 97% of cyber breaches, safeguarding the organization, assets, ROI, people, and family.

  • ​Ultimately, mitigates the human risks that account for up to 97% of cyber breaches, safeguarding the organization, assets, ROI, people, and family.

STEP 2: MASTER YOUR INDIVIDUAL CYBERSECURITY

To achieve a breach-deterrent culture, the focus must shift from the CISO to the individual. It is crucial to recognize that the CISO can neither behave cybersecurely for you in your professional, personal, or family life nor offer anything that will address your personal and family cybersecurity, as that would violate your privacy, yet all areas affect your organization's cybersecurity. A culture of cybersecurity commences and culminates with the individual. 

To cultivate a breach-preventative culture of cybersecurity, it is necessary to start at the top. If you don't, these highest-cyber-risk individuals will continue to bring their professional, personal, and family cyber risks into the organization. This behavior sets a precedent that employees may replicate, making breach prevention nearly impossible. Therefore, to mitigate cyber threats effectively, it is critical to lead by example and foster a culture of cybersecurity from Board down.
The Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint(TM) provides you the training and tools to:
  • Develop the acuity to when you’re being targeted. 
  • Master professional, personal, and family cybersecurity - from devices to cloud, social media, authentication, and travel - so your organization isn’t exposed (and neither is your family), including behavioral & technology best practices for each. 
  • Master mitigation strategies for general and executive risks in each area.

STEP 3: MASTER YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL CYBERSECURITY

With cybercrime changing the face of governance, regulations, geopolitics, and insurance daily, your Board must have a strategy to address this changing landscape. This is not your CISO's or Legal Officer's job. Furthermore, with cybersecurity and privacy violations now carrying criminal liability, each Director and Executive has a distinct cybersecurity role (individual, group-specific, and issue-specific) in developing, carrying out and overseeing these strategies. 
The Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ gets you up to speed and keeps you current on:
  • What your org-wide Board & C-Suite (not just CISO) Cyber Strategy needs to include for your:
  • Cyber Governance
  • Regulatory Cyber Policy Response
  • Geopolitical Cyber Response, and
  • ​Cyber Insurance.
  • What your individual, group-specific, and issue-specific cyber roles include and how to succeed in maintaining your cyber acuity in them.
  • How to successfully scale both your role and strategy as part of a sustained culture of cybersecurity.

The Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ gets you up to speed and keeps you current on:
  • What your org-wide Board & C-Suite (not just CISO) Cyber Strategy needs to include for your:
  • Cyber Governance
  • Regulatory Cyber Policy Response
  • Geopolitical Cyber Response, and
  • ​Cyber Insurance.
  • What your individual, group-specific, and issue-specific cyber roles include and how to succeed in maintaining your cyber acuity in them.
  • How to successfully scale both - your role and strategy - as part of a sustained culture of cybersecurity.

STEP 4: BUILD YOUR PERSONAL ACTION BLUEPRINT

Previously, organizations had no decentralized way of ensuring a culture of cybersecurity among Board, Executive, or employee ranks.
The Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™ Protocol:
  • Guides each of your Directors & Executives through the development of your organizational action blueprint that is personalized to each individual Director and Executive, thus ensuring full alignment across your most senior ranks.
  • When properly and fully executed, helps you create a breach-deterrent culture of cybersecurity from the Board down that helps you avoid:
  • The $9.9mm average price tag of a breach.
  • The operational, emotional, and reputational breach costs. 
  • ​Imprisonment of individual Directors/Executives found negligent in a cyber breach.
  • Provides you resolution on:
  • Your individual cybersecurity (as professionals, private citizens, and families), thus also enhancing your organization’s cybersecurity.
  • Your collective cybersecurity (as a Board, Management, Audit Committee, etc.) against hackers that are targeting specifically you.
  • Organizational cybersecurity (through your Governance, Geopolitical, Regulatory Policy, and Cyber Insurance Strategy and intimate knowledge of your individual, team-, and issue-specific, fiduciary duties and tactical responsibilities. 

PART II - STAY CURRENT

Keep your individual Board Director/Executive blueprint up to date with the latest data insights and expertise, and regularly test it against rapidly advancing cybercrime.

STEP 5: KEEP YOUR BLUEPRINT REGULARLY UPDATED & TESTED

Hacker innovation confronts Boards & Executive Teams with:
  • Continuous advancements in strategic and technological tools of cyber warfare.
  • A continuously shifting geopolitical landscape.
  • The ever-changing regulatory environment shifting your fiduciary and tactical calculus.
  • ​Cyber insurance companies adjusting to the ever-changing new normal, with an incentive to reduce payouts to stay profitable.
Cyber Nation Central®’s proprietary Research Insights keep your Blueprint current on your rapidly changing and advancing:
  • Board strategy, fiduciary duties, and tactical responsibilities.
  • US federal, state, and international cybersecurity and privacy laws, regulations, policies, standards, and frameworks.
  • Cyber insurance policy optimization strategies, coverage gaps, exclusions, and your role.
  • ​Cybersecure behaviors, technologies, and best practices.

  • ​Cybersecure behaviors, technologies, and best practices.

PART III - BUILD PARTNERSHIPS

Stay plugged into the right cyber defense experts and build the right external cyber partnerships so you are ready to proactively address situational dynamics and urgencies, before or as they arise, rather than when it’s too late.

STEP 6: BUILD EXTERNAL CYBER PARTNERSHIPS

To sustain a breach-deterrent culture of cybersecurity, you must build partnerships with the right external cyber defense experts who can help triage your Board-level cybersecurity strategy and address your questions as they arise, and who are ready and capable to fill in when and where your problem awareness, expertise, time, or budget for internal resource hiring are lacking.
Cyber Nation Central® ensures you have access to expertise that:
  • Isn’t just focused on cybersecurity IT but also incorporates cyber governance strategy, regulatory policy, and geopolitical response strategy, and cyber insurance strategy into your corporate strategy and vice versa, and
  • Isn’t just providing you with breach prevention tactics but 24/7 cyber breach response capabilities.
  • Is expert in some of the most complex government and private sector corporate strategy, cybersecurity defensive and offensive strategy and execution so you know your Advisors are “ready on day one,” yet can translate what’s most important into Board strategy for you so you don’t get lost in tech speak.
  • ​Isn’t just providing you with internal advisory capabilities but a network of the right cyber partners across the private and government sectors in the US and around the world so build the right relationships before that’s necessary.

Executive Cybersecurity Blueprint™
"This is the only protocol in the market that teaches Boards, C-Suites, & Investors how to think about their own and their organizations' cybersecurity holistically & execute on it 360°. I was really impressed with how technology was used to deliver the information.”

Jonathan H.*
Chairman, $70mm healthcare information provider

"I went from thinking ‘the best solution to a cyber breach is a strong insurance policy’ to fully understanding my cyber fiduciary and executive role and its part in a larger cybersecurity strategy."

Calysta F.*
CFO
Healthcare Company out of US Pacific Northwest
"This Blueprint is simply a game-changer in organizations’ cybersecurity and building cultures of cybersecurity from the Boardroom and Executive Suite down. 

Dominik R.*
CEO, $100mm Healthcare Network
MD, Venture Capital Firm
"A CTO also benefits from [me] going through this protocol because they now have a CEO that drives a breach-preventative culture. [The CTO's] job of executing the overall org’s cybersecurity is that much easier – they now have “informed buy-in” from the top."

James B.*
CEO
London-based transatlantic company in the ESG space
“My biggest concern before going through the Blueprint protocol was that I’d need to become an expert in cybersecurity to know how to fully take control of my individual cybersecurity or to develop a culture of cyber-security in my organization. Instead, the Blueprint made it simple, teaching me how to do so in under 7 hours.”

James B.*
CEO
London-based transatlantic company in the ESG space
“The protocol is communicated expertly and is excellent. It’s engaging, with a format suitable for people with limited time.​

“I can say that not only is [the protocol] not time-consuming, it is a very profitable time.”

June L.*
Sr. Advisor to VP of a Central American Country, Corporate & Non-Profit Board Director
“The blueprint protocol helped me realize (and correct) that my individual cybersecurity was weak (and that of my Board Directors even more so) because neither I nor my IT focused on our professional level of threats any differently than those against our employees and didn’t focus on our personal or family threats at all.”


Dominik R.*
CEO, $100mm Healthcare Network
MD, Venture Capital Firm
"I have been searching for an appropriate [cybersecurity] protocol tailored to a senior leader, one that would provide both strategic and practical guidance.
