The Jaguar Land Rover Hack:
The Board Perspective
In September 2025, Jaguar Land Rover was forced to halt production worldwide after a cyberattack struck during one of its busiest sales periods. The disruption cost millions in lost revenue each day and rippled through supply chains, operations, and customer trust.
This case study goes beyond the headlines. It explores the governance lessons every board should take from the incident:
-
How timing risk can distort forecasts, liquidity, and market confidence
-
Why supply chain fragility magnifies digital shocks
-
What resilience really means in practice — and how to test it
-
The role of tone, transparency, and leadership in protecting stakeholder trust
Whether you’re a seasoned NED or preparing for your first board role, this is an opportunity to see how cyber risk translates into boardroom accountability.
