The Corporate Executive Programme (CEP) was created under the auspices of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (www.first.org), a world-wide organisation that promotes collaboration and shared knowledge against security threats and risk. Formed in June 2005 in Singapore, the CEP unites senior decision-makers from the world’s leading enterprises and public sector organisations.
The CEP format is unique in that it takes a cross-functional view of risk across an entire organisation including Human Resources, Marketing, Sales, Finance and Information Technology. Due to this enterprise-wide approach, the CEP is specifically geared towards CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, CMOs and other key senior staff. In time, the CEP aims to influence governments in their approach to international threats and risk issues.
