Digital Crown Jewels Under Attack: Expanding Threat Surfaces, Escalating Board Stakes

Every company has digital crown jewels — the systems, data, identities, platforms, vendor connections, and digital dependencies the business cannot afford to lose, leak, corrupt, impersonate, or have taken offline.

As threat surfaces expand, boards need sharper visibility into what matters most, how those crown jewels are being targeted, and what management is prepared to do when they come under attack.

This program moves beyond a traditional cyber update, combining expert-led spark talks, a facilitated boardroom exercise, and a closing crisis-focused interview.

Participants will work through The Digital Crown Jewel Stress Test, a realistic scenario designed to help directors identify critical digital dependencies, assess business impact, and develop practical oversight questions for management.

By participating, directors will explore three essential questions:

1. What are the company’s digital crown jewels, and does the board know where they are, who owns them, and how critical they are to enterprise value?
2. How are expanding threat surfaces — including identity compromise, deepfakes, AI-enabled attacks, vendor exposure, cloud risk, tokenization, and quantum-related security concerns — changing the risk landscape?
3. What should directors require from management on controls, resilience, insurance, disclosure, incident response, and recovery in the first 72 hours of a crown-jewel incident?
