Details

Many finance officers know cyber risk is a growing concern—but still wonder whether their organizations are truly ready and where limited dollars will make the biggest difference. This interactive panel discussion brings together experts in cyber prevention and cyber insurance to help finance leaders connect today’s most prevalent threats to practical, investable strategies. Through a guided conversation, panelists will discuss how prepared organizations really are, where common gaps tend to exist, and which approaches are proving effective today—along with what finance officers should be paying attention to as cyber risks continue to evolve.

Who Will Benefit

  • Finance officers seeking practical, budget‑smart strategies to manage evolving cyber risks.
