DIGITAL RESILIENCE IN THE CORPORATE SECTOR
anne2022-12-29T17:45:57+08:00
What is the future of business in the rapidly digitising world? The recent global pandemic has fast-forwarded change, which has opened considerable opportunities for businesses to make a profit; at the same time, the potential for crisis has also increased. The reality is that the evolving threat matrix of the digital economy is the convergence of many factors. This programme will feature a special session titled “Cyberwarfare Waged on the Corporate Sector: Lessons from the Russia-Ukraine Crisis“.
Corporations are in a digital arms race; it is just that many do not realise it. A new breed of mercenaries is looking to exploit gaps in cybersecurity and digital frameworks. This coupled with weaponised communications designed to bring companies to their knees, organisations now need leaders who understand the new rapidly evolving strategic landscape and its impact on digital resilience.

WHY ATTEND
Critical questions we will confront during the discussion that will enable better-informed decisions are:
- How to cascade effective strategy and policy into actionable projects that drive digital resilience.
- The interconnectedness of strategy and policy, and how to tackle the gaps in organisations or frameworks that could lead to a crisis.
- How to recover from a crisis that plays out in the media or social media.
- Addressing the opportunity cost of inaction or lack of investment into digital infrastructure.
- Addressing the vulnerability of critical digital infrastructure, especially in a post-COVID-19 era.
Join us in this exclusive roundtable as we discuss ways to address digital resilience in the corporate sector and how business leaders can mitigate the threats that could lead to a crisis.
