Key insights include:

• The critical technical controls every organization must have in place—firewalls, encryption, endpoint protection, and more.

• Why regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are must-haves for proactive security.
• How board members should approach data protection, access control, and compliance with the principle of least privilege.
• The growing personal liability for executives, including potential fines and disqualification from leadership roles.
