Chief Financial Officer Perspective

What is the role of the CFO in the event of a cyber-extortion attack?

From compliance and risk assessment to balancing the need for protection with fiscal responsibilities, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) plays a pivotal part in helping your company respond effectively.
