Cybersecurity now sits at the core of organizational governance, and modern institutions are expected to demonstrate strong oversight, structured risk management, and full regulatory compliance. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and global regulations become more complex, leaders must adopt a strategic approach that integrates governance, risk, and compliance into a unified framework.
