Cybersecurity for Executives: From Risk to Readiness
What to fund, what to accept, and what to do in the first twenty-four hours
What to fund, what to accept, and what to do in the first twenty-four hours. ScaleX Innovation · Anis Koubaa. 7 modules · 14 lessons · 1h 4m · Beginner. Audio in English, Arabic, French, Turkish.
A self-paced executive briefing on the cyber decisions that are yours and not IT's. It does not teach how attacks work: it gives you a way to price what you could lose, a rule for what to fund first, the four decisions you make in the first hour of an incident, and a ninety-day plan you could start on Monday. Every figure is sourced and attributed on air. Saudi regulation is cited from the National Cybersecurity Authority and the Personal Data Protection Law, with US and EU rules for comparison, and the worked examples come from named organisations in the Gulf, the United States and Europe. The narration is available in English, Arabic, French and Turkish.
