The Global Risk Management Survey, which surveyed 2,000 public and private companies across a wide range of industries, places cybercrime/hacking/viruses/malicious codes as the fifth risk globally and the top risk in North America.

Since the cyberrisk is clearly on companies' radar screens and not going away in the near future, boards of directors need to establish an effective governance structure to oversee cybersecurity matters and monitor management's plans and progress in this critical area. An effective oversight mechanism can also serve as a good defense of a board's business judgement in the event of a cyberbreach and related lawsuits claiming that directors breached their fiduciary duties.
