Overview

In recent years, organisations of all sizes operating in all sectors and markets have been targets of cybersecurity attacks. The recent ransomware attacks on Colonial Pipeline in the United States and the UK’s NHS show just how critical cybersecurity can be, and how even large organisations can be affected.

Globally, the annual cost of cybercrime and economic espionage around the world may be as much as $445bn, almost 1% of global income. Locally, in the UK, the average cost of a breach for firms was £4.7m in 2021, a substantial rise from the £3.9m figures in 2020.  These figures can have a detrimental impact on organisations.

For the organisations’ CISOs, CIOs, directors, general counsel and legal teams, knowing how to respond to these threats go beyond knowledge of black-letter law.  This webinar, brought to you by The Legal 500 and Diligent, was designed to provide CISOs , GCs, C-suite and directors with the essential knowledge on the practical steps that can be taken to mitigate, manage and overcome cyber incidents, whilst also delivering relevant and practical insights into the evolving regulatory landscape.
