Hacked! How cybercrime will kill your balance sheet

Pieter Nel, Regional Head - SADC
Sophos

CFOs are financial stewards and often the public face of their company's performance. As such they are at risk of being seen as more preoccupied with financial than moral concerns. For this reason, they should make moral concerns an explicit part of their leadership agenda. CFOs share their views and experiences.
