How safe is your business? Cybersecurity risk, Insurance and Best Practice in a Post-COVID World
ABIE France in association with the OECD invites you to a webinar discussion:
How safe is your business? Cybersecurity risk, Insurance and Best Practice in a Post-COVID World
“Never let a good crisis go to waste.“Winston Churchill, 1940
In 2020, cyber criminals certainly have not. Taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis, major malware and ransomware attacks on corporations, individuals and governments – including a multi-pronged major attack in Australia – have spiked.
It is estimated that this year cybercrime damage will reach six trillion euros, a sum equivalent to the GDP of Japan. Google alone registered a 350% increase in phishing attempts during the lockdown crisis. Where are the attacks coming from? Can they be prevented? What protection is there?
Our panel of experts will discuss these issues:
