Cybersecurity Risks
As cyber threats escalate across the public finance industry, this Virtual Summit brings together leading experts to examine the growing severity and sophistication of attacks facing issuers and market participants. Panelists will explore real-world risks—from intercepted transactions to near-miss breaches—and the critical best practices needed to defend against them.
The program will address the tools, technologies, and strategies available to protect against bad actors, as well as the evolving standards for disclosure and insurance. Most importantly, it will highlight why issuers, bankers, advisors, investors, and trustees must unite around shared goals to build a more resilient, coordinated cybersecurity framework for the industry.
Agenda
With increasing reports of cyber activity in the public finance industry as the war in the Middle East continues, our panel of experts will discuss the severity of what the market faces, what kinds of best practices for guarding against them exist – or should exist – and why all players in the industry need to coalesce around common goals to be more efficient in battling the threats.
From what to disclose and how to insure against threats and who pays the costs associated with them, all parties – issuers, underwriters, advisors, investors and trustees – need to better prepare for the expected onslaught of threats. It also signals the industry, and governments, need to become more efficient overall with managing the threats as part of day-to-day management.
Our panel of experts will explore how disclosure practices are evolving in response to cybersecurity threats, and what issuers must consider as regulations may tighten and ratings agencies take notice. We will also take a look at how investors viewing the very real threats.
