In light of the proposed SEC regulations, DHR Global and FTI Consulting are partnering on this networking event, sharing brief insights around skills that board members must have and what companies are looking for in board members and cyber skills needed in the boardroom.
Cyber Skills to Address Critical Risks
Not since 2002 and the passing of Sarbanes-Oxley Act has there been such a critical impending change to board skillsets and reporting. The SEC’s proposed amendment requires boards to report material incidents, policies and procedures to identify and manage those risks, their impact to the bottom line, and their resolution.
DHR Global has been actively focusing on what the right cybersecurity expertise encompasses at the board level, how it will dovetail with other board positions, and is recommending its clients get ahead of the new rules by recruiting highly qualified CISOs and cybersecurity experts to take their seats at the table as board directors.

It’s Happening Again – Massive Change Expected to America’s Boards of Directors, 20 Years After Sarbanes-Oxley
Not since 2002 and the passing of the massively consequential Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when the SEC required America’s boards of directors to appoint Chief Financial Officers and form audit committees, has there been such a critical impending change to board skillsets and reporting. Expected by the end of this year, the SEC has once again identified a serious gap in board expertise, governance, planning, accountability, public disclosure and response – this time in the areas of cybersecurity and risk assessment – and is making regulations to address them.
