Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise for Boards of Directors

Cyber risk is no longer a technical discussion — it’s a boardroom imperative.

On March 5, 2026, the NACD Connecticut Chapter hosted a Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise for Boards of Directors, designed to simulate real-world decision-making under pressure and test governance readiness when it matters most.

This interactive session challenged directors to:

• Navigate executive-level cyber incident decisions

• Assess materiality, disclosure, and oversight obligations

• Strengthen board-management escalation and response

• Align cyber and AI risk governance with investor expectations

Purpose-built for board members, committee chairs, and senior executives, this exercise focused on governance, not technology — the questions directors are now expected to ask.
