Cybersecurity Insights for CFOs: Business Risk Meets Strategy

When financial leaders talk about strategy, Cybersecurity enters the room.

The boardroom was quiet until the conversation turned to risk, not just market shifts or economic changes, but cyber risk.

At the Cornerstone Strategic Alliance leadership session held in downtown Orlando, a select group of CFOs and senior financial leaders gathered to explore high-impact strategies for business growth. Aurora InfoTech’s Chief Security Officer, Roy Richardson, was invited as the featured speaker.

His message was clear: Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a business issue that directly affects the bottom line.

What CFOs Need to Know About Today’s Cyber Threats

During the 90-minute presentation, Richardson helped financial leaders view Cybersecurity as a financial strategy impacting budgets, operational continuity, compliance, and investor trust.

Key takeaways included:

• Proactive Cybersecurity helps avoid unexpected costs from downtime, data loss, and recovery efforts.
• Credential theft and phishing attacks often target financial data, putting finance departments at the top of the risk list.
• Cyber risk management must be part of the CFO’s responsibility, not just the IT department’s.

The session included interactive discussions and a tabletop exercise, during which participants explored real-world risk scenarios and considered how these issues affect financial oversight and vendor management.

Redefining the CFO’s Role in Digital Risk

As cyber threats continue to evolve, CFOs have a critical role in managing digital risk. Events like the Cornerstone Strategic Alliance session show how financial decision-makers are actively seeking insights that connect Cybersecurity strategy with business outcomes.

For Aurora InfoTech, participating in this session wasn’t just about sharing knowledge but also helping business leaders make informed, growth-focused security decisions.
