Cybersecurity lessons from the War in Ukraine

In episode 22 of Nurole's 'Enter the Boardoom' podcast, CEO Oliver Cummings is joined by Dimitri Chichlo, non-executive Vice-Chairman and Chair of the Operations & Digital Committee at Ukreximbank.

“Cyber is not a technical matter. It is a business matter. It is something that should be actively managed by the board. If you don’t ask the questions, you are going to miss something.” Join Dimitri Chichlo, non-executive Vice-Chairman and Chair of the Operations & Digital Committee at Ukreximbank (Ukraine’s third largest bank) in a discussion about cybersecurity.

Drawing on his experiences in the War in Ukraine, Dimitri covers: where cyber disasters have taken businesses under (1:16); different cyber risks and their respective motivations (4:27); the most common points of cyber failure (10:47); key questions boards need to ask to understand their cyber resilience and risks (14:54); what non-technical boards can do to get up to speed re risks and resilience (18:43) ; how boards can counter risks (19:56); the importance of recovery over defence (24:18); the risks posed by board members themselves (28:16), and three things board members can do to help their organisations with cyber security today (31:17).
