Overview
This fast and furious digital transformation and digital innovation has opened up digital connectivity outside the firm and into the global world thus significantly exposing the security of the firm’s digital assets to real risks of cyber-attacks and cyber-terrorism. The cyber criminals are also leveraging new advanced digital technologies to increase the sophistications and impact of their cyber-attacks.
What are these cyber-attacks and cyber-terrorism, where do they come from, how are company assets exposed and how can firms address these real threats and challenges effectively? Such cyber-attacks and cyber-terrorism might cripple the business operations resulting in financial losses, rob the trust of customers and destroy its reputation which is fatal to the firm. It is thus critical that finance leaders support business leaders and users to quickly understand and assess their digital systems and connectivity and identify the firm’s vulnerabilities and high risks aspects of cybersecurity, develop cybersecurity policies, procedures and set up strong security tools and intelligent security analytics and controls with automation to effectively tackle the real and present threats of cyber-attacks and cyber-terrorism.
This two-day programme will address the various cybersecurity challenges, define its key principles, explain its risks and vulnerabilities in relation to the digital economy, its global connectivity, its use of Cloud and IOT technologies and determine how such risks could be mitigated and managed effectively. Examples and case studies of recent significant cyber-attacks including a demo of malicious code injection attack and social engineering will be included for deeper learning. Essential cybersecurity policies, procedures, tools, controls and recovery plan as well as automation of cybersecurity analytics for predicting the probability of and detecting the cyber-attacks will be elaborated. The different types of cybersecurity and solutions including mobile security will be covered. Critical laws relating to cybersecurity liabilities and legal protection against cybercrime will also be highlighted.
