What is the Board-Level Endpoint Detection Strategy course about?
Security leaders face increasing pressure to demonstrate control and preparedness at the executive level, yet most endpoint detection strategies remain technically focused without clear linkage to business risk, governance timelines, or board communication rhythms. This gap creates inefficiencies during incidents and undermines strategic credibility.
