As the digital environment expands, methods behind cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, and the threats themselves take on new forms. Consumers are exceedingly conscientious about the protection of their shared data. And leading companies are learning that preserving trust is integral to customer experience, and a potent tool for strengthening their competitive advantage. In fact, many outperforming organizations distinguish themselves by sharpening their operational and strategic efforts in one specific area: cybersecurity.1

The Institute for Management Development (IMD) Cybersecurity Risk and Strategy online program takes a practical, non-technical approach to help you understand and navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Over five weeks, you’ll gain the tools to effectively leverage current data protection regulations and build on the security systems you already have in place. Guided by industry experts, you’ll explore the future of cybersecurity in relation to the mainstream adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). Finally, you’ll evaluate whether your organization is prepared for what's to come and develop an action plan to identify, prepare for, and respond to various cyberthreats.
