Digital and Cyber Risk: Beyond 2020

---

The world has seen an unprecedented rise in cyber security incidents since the beginning of 2020 – a trend which is shaking up everything we thought we knew about prevention and management of this insidious risk. 

This session will provide a deep-dive into what has been going on in the world of cyber security and insurance over the past 12 months, how this has impacted on businesses in all sectors both globally and here in New Zealand, and what we may expect looking forward.

Join FinTechNZ and Digital Identity NZ for three hours of engaging presentations and networking. Food and beverages will be provided, thank you to Marsh for sponsoring this event.
