Leadership Cybersecurity Awareness Workshop – Practical, plain-English executive training. Canada & USA.
Executive Add-On

Leadership Cybersecurity Awareness Workshop
for CEOs & Senior Teams

Executives are the #1 target for cyberattacks — but most workshops are built for technical staff or front-line employees. This session is different. It gives CEOs, CFOs, COOs, partners and managers a board-ready, business-focused understanding of modern cyber risk, and the practical actions leaders must take to protect the company.

Tailored to SMBs (5–500 staff). Available virtual or on-site.
Ideal for:
  • CEOs, presidents and owners
  • Executive and leadership teams
  • Managers with financial or operational responsibility
  • Teams preparing for board / lender scrutiny

A fast, impactful session that elevates your leadership team’s understanding of cyber risk and significantly improves decision quality — without jargon, fear-mongering or vendor bias.

What your leadership team will learn

A practical, plain-English session designed for non-technical leaders.

1. How cyberattacks actually happen

Real-world examples explained in simple business terms — phishing, ransomware, MFA bypass, vendor compromises, insider risk and social engineering.

2. The decisions executives must own

Insurance requirements, vendor dependencies, data exposure, incident response responsibilities and financial/operational consequences.

3. Minimum controls every business needs

MFA, backup, endpoint security, access control, password hygiene, change management, staff training, remote work baselines and vendor oversight.

4. Your biggest hidden risks

Where CEOs underestimate exposure — shadow IT, old accounts, SaaS sprawl, vendor lock-in, unclear responsibilities and poor documentation.

5. How to detect gaps before attackers do

Simple leadership-level questions and checks that reveal major cybersecurity weaknesses — without needing technical expertise.

6. What to do when something goes wrong

How to respond in the first critical minutes, who speaks to who, key decisions, communication, insurance steps, and what not to do.
