Cyber-attacks pose a biggest modern threat to many businesses. The number of cyber-attacks, their level of sophistication, and the financial and reputational impact they have made continue to increase at an alarming rate. The research firm Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost $6 trillion globally by 2021.
Earlier in 2019, the former officers and directors of an international search engine company agreed to pay $29 million to settle the charges for their breaching of fiduciary duties in their handling customer data during a series of cyberattacks during 2013 - 2016.
The challenges faced by companies and their management are becoming more challenging. Success organisations must be able to identify cyber risks, assess their security control maturity level and maintain good IT governance.
In this seminar, we will share our knowledge on:
- Latest development of cyber risks
- The associated costs of cyber incidents
- Consideration for cyber incident risk disclosure
- Recommended best practices of cyber risk management
We hope that this Seminar will help you to understand more about cyber risks management and best practices.
