Cybersecurity involves investment decisions, processes, people and supplier relationships. Governing it requires the ability to assess risks and translate them into shared decisions, defining responsibilities and priorities aligned with business objectives.<\/p>\n
The Open Program in Cybersecurity Management at Bologna Business School<\/strong> develops the skills needed to establish security as a cross-functional organisational function. The programme explores coordination between IT, senior management and other business functions, with each retaining responsibility for its own decisions.<\/p>\n
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0<\/strong> provides the programme\u2019s methodological foundation. Through five modules covering governance, cyber risk and supply chain, artificial intelligence, metrics and resilience, participants explore methods to organise, fund and measure cybersecurity and support its development over time.<\/p>\n
Who should attend:<\/strong><\/p>\n
The programme is designed for IT Managers, CIOs, CISOs and information security managers seeking to strengthen their managerial and organisational skills. It is also open to CEOs, General Managers, entrepreneurs and managers involved in strategic and investment decisions, including those without a specialist technical background.<\/p>\n
Exchanges between these professional profiles help build a common language between IT and senior management: understanding which risks to accept, how to assign responsibilities, where to invest and how to prepare the organisation to handle an incident.<\/p>\n
The course is intended for:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs)<\/li>\n
- IT Managers<\/li>\n
- IT governance managers<\/li>\n
- Risk and compliance consultants<\/li>\n
- Members of oversight and audit committees<\/li>\n
- Managers and decision-makers involved in digital risk management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Participation in the course can help participants stand out professionally and support career progression in cybersecurity and compliance. Through theoretical sessions, workshops and an immersive tabletop simulation, participants will develop the skills to govern, protect, detect, respond and recover in the event of cyber incidents, in line with the NIS2 Directive and the GDPR.<\/p>\n
The course comprises 5 teaching sessions<\/strong> delivered in a hybrid format. The first and final session will take place on campus, the other sessions will be online.<\/p>\n
The programme is scheduled to start in January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
