Cybersecurity failure is a "Clear and present danger" and critical global threat, yet responses from board directors have been fragmented, risks not fully understood, and collaboration between industries limited, according to a WEF report.

The report reveals that boards of directors need to play a more active role in protecting their organization from cyber risks - and provides a solution to this fragmentation.

Organizations facing a tremendous increase in cyber risk.

What can board directors do when it comes to cybersecurity?

The report shows how directors can improve their understanding of cyber risks to quickly incorporate cyber-risk planning into their companies' overall strategy.

"Without a principled foundation for understanding and governing cyber risk at the board level, risk responses have been piecemeal and security gaps have risen," said Daniel Dobrygowski, Head of Governance and Trust at the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity.
