⚖️ Boards Are the New Cyber Risk Owners – Like It or Not

🧱 NIS2. DORA. The UK’s Telecoms Act. They all say one thing:

📌 If the board doesn’t act, they will be held personally accountable.

🔍 47% of EU CNI operators don’t plan to hire infosec staff. Meanwhile, attacks rise 87%.

🧨 This mismatch will cost lives – and reputations.

🧠 It’s time to move beyond “delegate it to IT.”
