Cybersecurity and GRC: Building a Unified Defense

As digital threats evolve, so must the way organizations govern and mitigate cyber risk. Successful organizations recognize the need to unite cybersecurity functions with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks. Doing so can help them more effectively protect their data, manage evolving threats, and meet regulatory demands while supporting broader enterprise risk objectives.

Join us on Dec. 18 for a dynamic roundtable discussion with Crowe specialists and GRC thought leaders, “Cybersecurity and GRC: Building a Unified Defense.” We will explore the convergence of cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance disciplines and why now is the time to unify defenses.

During this one-hour webinar, panelists will discuss how integrating cyber risk with enterprise risk can lead to better board-level visibility, how GRC frameworks can support cyber incident response and resilience, and why insider threats and regulatory overlaps continue to challenge even the most mature organizations. Attendees will hear how companies are tackling these challenges and gain practical insights they can apply across industries and functions.

Topics will include:

  • The importance of aligning cyber risk with enterprise risk
  • Using GRC tools and processes to support threat detection and response
  • Managing insider threats and third-party risk across overlapping regulatory domains

After attending this session, you should be able to:

  • Identify ways to align cyber risk management with enterprise risk and key risk indicators
  • Explain how GRC frameworks support cyberthreat detection and response planning
  • Compare different approaches to managing insider, third-party, and regulatory overlap risks
  • Assess how leading organizations are integrating cyber and GRC tools for unified governance
