Building Cyber Resilience: Practical Steps to Reduce Risk

Rehmann hosted a webinar focused on helping organizational leaders strengthen their cybersecurity readiness and reduce business risk. The session emphasized that cybersecurity is not just an IT concern, but a critical business risk issue that requires proactive planning and leadership engagement. During the webinar, attendees explored the growing impact of cyber threats, including ransomware, AI-assisted phishing, credential theft, and shadow AI. Presenters discussed the financial, operational, and reputational consequences of cyber incidents and shared practical strategies for improving organizational resilience. Participants were introduced to a four-part cyber resilience framework centered on anticipating, withstanding, responding to, and recovering from cyber events. The session also provided guidance on assessing current cybersecurity maturity, leveraging Rehmann's Cyber Readiness Survey, and determining the most appropriate assessment path for their organization. In addition, the webinar highlighted ways leaders can connect cyber risk to broader business risk, improve conversations with internal teams and vendors, and effectively communicate cybersecurity findings to executives and board members. The program was designed for organization leaders, finance and operations professionals, IT stakeholders, executives, and board members across all industries.
