Topics:

  • Cyber & AI Risks, Threats, and Business Impact
  • Threat landscape evolution (AI-powered attacks, nation-state actors)
  • GCC-specific cyber risks and trends
  • Mapping cyber risk to financial and operational impact
  • Cybersecurity as business enabler and trust driver
  • Zero Trust as leadership-driven strategy
  • AI fundamentals (practical, non-technical)
  • AI risks: bias, hallucination, privacy leakage, shadow AI
  • Lab: Board-level ransomware + AI data leak simulation


Overview

Cybersecurity and AI are no longer technical domains; they are board-level responsibilities. This training equips senior leaders to translate cyber and AI risks into business impact, define governance structures, and make measurable decisions. 

Participants will work through real-world scenarios including ransomware crises, AI misuse, and governance failures, and leave with a clear operating model and decision framework.

This 2-day, executive-focused training bridges the gap between cybersecurity, AI, and business leadership. It focuses on practical decision-making rather than technical depth.

Day 1 covers threat landscape, AI risks, and business impact, helping leaders understand how cyber and AI translate into financial, operational, and reputational consequences.

Day 2 focuses on governance, operating models, and crisis leadership, enabling participants to design actionable frameworks and lead effectively during incidents.

The course includes boardroom simulations, crisis decision labs, and governance design exercises.
