Join Impact Washington, the Port of Vancouver, and the Columbia River Economic Development Council (CREDC) for an executive-focused cybersecurity briefing designed specifically for business leaders.

Cybersecurity is no longer a technology issue delegated to IT—it is a leadership responsibility that directly affects organizational performance, revenue protection, stakeholder confidence, regulatory compliance, and business continuity.

This highly interactive 3.5-hour executive briefing is designed for CEOs, COOs, CFOs, presidents, business owners, board members, and senior leaders who need to understand cybersecurity from a business perspective. Participants will gain practical insights into cyber risk, governance, crisis leadership, and organizational resilience while engaging in executive discussions, real-world case studies, and facilitated Q&A sessions with industry experts.

Rather than overwhelming attendees with technical details, this session focuses on the strategic decisions executives must make to protect their organizations and enable sustainable growth in an increasingly digital world.
