During the conference, the CBI’s Chief UK Policy Director, Matthew Fell highlighted that businesses’ use of data goes to the heart of consumer trust. This is in line with the CBI’s Everyone business research which examines the issues of trust, privacy and innovation and highlights that a commitment to data security is a fundamental part of a businesses’ license to operate in the modern economy.
Also speaking at the conference was Ciaran Martin, CEO of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). In his keynote speech he said that “…nodding to avoid feeling foolish can sometimes be the most foolish thing to do.”. Mr Martin’s address was targeted towards board executives who hold the key to improving cyber resilience amongst the business community.
To help businesses, the NCSC released guidance for boards in the form of five key questions that business should be asking to help understand how they can best defend, protect and plan.
