This Webinar
Cybersecurity governance is no longer just an IT concern; it’s a board-level imperative. Our latest Corporate Governance Institute event will be a live podcast – a conversation with three experienced industry experts, where you’ll have the chance to learn how to manage cyber risk through a financial and strategic lens.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Preparedness and Resilience: Building Muscle Memory Before the Crisis
  • Why Boards Must Rethink the CISO Role
  • Moving form Cyber Risk Awareness to Intentional Risk Acceptance
  • How Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) is the Future of Board Governance
This Speaker

Scott Kannry:

Scott is CEO and Co-founder at Axio, the leader in SaaS-based risk management software, which empowers security leaders to build and optimise security programs and quantify risk for better investment prioritisation and decision-making. 

Scott is the architect of Axio’s four-quadrant cyber loss impact taxonomy and the methodology for evaluating and stress testing insurance portfolios, a process designed specifically to better align overall cyber exposure with insurability. This approach was the first to codify the reality that cyber predicated losses can trigger numerous lines of insurance coverage.    

Scott is a frequent speaker at industry events and a contributor to insurance and cybersecurity publications. He has been recognised as a Crain’s Chicago “Notable Entrepreneur,” Business Insurance Magazine “Top 40 under 40” broker, Risk and Insurance Magazine “Power Broker,” and industry Rising Star by Reactions magazine.
