Description

During the session five key topics will be covered to help attendees better understand the dynamic and ever-changing risks posed by cyber and online crime and how to best protect themselves from a new set of emerging risks.

The five topics we will cover are:

• Coalition’s approach to supporting organisations and individuals manage, mitigate and defend against cyber threat actors. An introduction to Active Insurance: Risk Assessment, Protection and Response.

• Exploring the ways Coalition is learning about existing and future threats through our research.

• A run through of real-life examples where attacks have taken place and what has been learnt from these. Inclusive of steps that can be taken by organisations to prevent similar experiences happening to them.
