DESCRIPTION:Topic: Cyber Security Governance for Financial Executives&nbsp;Cybersecurity is no longer a technical safeguard operating at the margins of the enterprise; it is a determinant of financial stability, regulatory exposure, and institutional trust. For financial executives, this shift reframes cybersecurity from a cost center or compliance exercise into a core governance responsibility. Cyber risk must now be evaluated alongside financial, operational, and legal risk—measured in terms of impact, likelihood, and consequence, not tools and controls. CFOs and finance leaders sit at the point where capital allocation, disclosure obligations, and fiduciary duty converge, placing them in a unique position to influence not only how cyber risk is managed, but how it is governed, understood, and ultimately defended under scrutiny.&nbsp;This session will focus on how financial executives can govern cybersecurity with the same rigor applied to financial controls and enterprise risk management. It will explore how to translate cyber risk into decision-grade financial terms, align cybersecurity investment with measurable risk reduction, and establish defensible oversight that withstands regulatory and stakeholder review. In an environment where organizations are increasingly judged by the quality of leadership response and the strength of their governance narrative, this discussion also highlights an emerging opportunity: the growing need for independent, governance-focused assessments that help organizations evaluate readiness, strengthen oversight, and demonstrate defensibility before that capability is tested.&nbsp;Speaker: Victor Font&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Agenda:6:00 to 6:30 pm – Open Networking&nbsp;6:30 to 6:45 pm – Welcome, thank our host, up-coming events, and general comments.&nbsp;6:45 to 7:45 pm – The speakers will talk for about 45 minutes to an hour saving some time for questions.&nbsp;7:45 to 8:00 pm – Open networking8:00 pm – End of event&nbsp;
