With its components, Data Governance (DG)and Information Technology Governance (ITG), Information Governance (IG) is a key element ofCorporate Governance (GC). The characteristics and the relationships between them are analysedin the second part of the paper. The subject of cybersecurity as part of Information Governance isaddressed in the third part of the paper, discussing issues such as attack types, the relationshipattack sophistication versus intruder technical knowledge and a security framework foridentification and prevention of cyber-attacks. In the fourth part, the best practices forCybersecurity Governance are synthesized. As cyber threats are scarcely diversifying andbecoming more and more sophisticated, affecting an increasingly number of users andorganizations, the solution is a unified and coordinated approach at the organizational, regionaland global level.
