The National Association of Corporate Directors has issued a new edition of its cyber-risk oversight handbook in an effort to help private sector managers and boards of directors mitigate downside losses in their organizations, Federal News Radio reported Thursday.Meredith Somers writes the handbook calls on industry to use government resources and includes updated cyber threat information to reflect modern risks.
The handbook expands on the 2014 publication and adds samples of cyber-risk dashboards, board-level cybersecurity metrics and a federal cybersecurity resources section, according to the report.
The handbook incorporates the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, Automated Indicator Sharing and contact information for incident response, Somers reports.
