"It’s a pleasure to welcome Pierre to our alumni club," said David R. Koenig, QRD®, President and Chief Executive Officer of the DCRO Institute. "With his years of experience in finance and operations at the C-suite level, he brings a valuable perspective to board work. That experience is now further enhanced with a demonstrated awareness of the essential nature of cyber risk governance in strategy and overall risk governance."

The Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance℠ is awarded to those who have completed an extensive education program led by a global suite of board members, leading C-suite technology executives, law enforcement, and intelligence experts, all with deep knowledge of technology and cyber. Candidate knowledge is validated by evaluation across all subjects covered.

“In today’s connected world and rapidly evolving technologies, cyber security is one of the most important business risks that a board needs to pay close attention to,” said Mr. Bernier. “The particularity of cyber risk is that this is not something you can avoid, but a risk that an organization must be prepared to face at any time. This training should be a standard requirement for board members,” he continued.
