WD-40 Company Announces Board Changes

Key Terms

enterprise risk management technical

Enterprise Risk Management is a process companies use to identify, assess, and prepare for potential problems that could disrupt their success, like financial losses or reputation damage. It’s like a safety plan that helps a business stay strong and adapt quickly when unexpected challenges come up. This helps the company protect its future and keep running smoothly.

cybersecurity technical

Cybersecurity involves protecting computers, networks, and digital information from theft, damage, or unauthorized access. It is essential for safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining trust in digital systems, which matters to investors because strong cybersecurity reduces the risk of costly breaches and disruptions that can impact a company’s performance and reputation. Think of it as locking and safeguarding valuable information much like securing a safe to prevent theft.
