Abstract

Directors are expected to be entrepreneurial while at the same time exercising prudent control. Enterprise and control are two sides of the directorial coin. Considers whether risk management professionals should do more in support of creativity, innovation, enterprise and entrepreneurship before turning to some cyber security and fraud control issues and dilemmas relating to data security breaches, the internet of things, protecting customer communications, and data sharing with collaborators and law enforcement agencies.

There are many other areas in which directors have to balance contending considerations and the two sides of the directorial coin. Resilient systems, quick responses, competent directors, effective boards and relevant support can all help us to ensure that business development is sustainable and secure.
