Boards of directors need to play a more active role in protecting their organization from cyber risks. The new WEF report that we contributed to provides a solution to this fragmentation.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/cybersecurity-guide-boards-directors-acronis-contributes-world-economic-forum-report/)
