Events / 09-12-20 / Share Link

Mass remote working due to lockdowns and restrictions on movement to offices have opened up opportunities for criminal activities and the targeting of corporate cyber-infrastructure, resulting in a sharp rise in attempted scams the world over. Regulators have been quick to warn about schemes targeting individuals – from phishing to bank payment fraud – but the danger to businesses are equally heightened.

Mark Parr, Global Director of Information Technology at HFW, and Oz Alashe, Chief Executive Officer at CybSafe, will examine the key priorities and pressure points for pursuing a robust cyber strategy, from the types of scams being seen – push payments, fake creditors, tax fraud – to reliance on home networks lacking sophisticated protection. It will also offer practical advice on the measures to take when an attack happens, the role of business planning, stress tests as well as the role for insurers and regulators in an unprecedented era of global disruption.
