So how can you make the leap from an effective executive to joining a corporate board? Why would you want to? And once you do, how do you know you are doing it right. Hear from our distinguished panelists on how they navigated that chasm.

Technology CFO Series | VIRTUAL
Cybersecurity: Navigating Threats in the WFH Environment from the CFO Seat
Cybercriminals have never been as active wreaking havoc around the world, and since so many companies do not have regular offices, the Cybercriminals have re-directed their efforts to professionals working remotely. Their number one target is the financial community, and CFOs need to be mindful of that. Phishing, malware, ransomware, and spear phishing have increased dramatically, and there are reports that more than $6 billion in ransomware has been paid in the past 12 months. This panel will discuss important practical advice on how CFOs can protect themselves.
