Recent months have seen the European Parliament back EU-wide safety regulations and registries for drones, which could mean large fines for manufacturers and operators, as well as recommendations by the European Aviation Safety Agency for new rules on the use of electronic identification systems and geo-awareness technology in drones.

Panellists will also examine related issues for drone users and regulators – including insurance, liability and privacy – as well as looking to what developments we can expect in the future.

Managing cyber risk in today’s digital environment is extremely challenging, whether your organization is public, private or governmental. In response to the growing frequency and severity of cyber-attacks, many organizations have decided it’s time to focus more of their efforts on cyber risk, starting with a cyber risk assessment. This approach to proactively dealing with the risk of cyber-attacks increases the organization’s awareness of the potential impacts and costs, and enables them to take actions that reduce the overall risk to the organization, minimize the impact of cyber-attacks, and more predictably ensure the continuity of essential services.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of assessing cyber risk and explore the following:

•Threats and root causes of breaches
•The changing regulatory landscape
•Security frameworks and tools
•Practical ways to assess your risk and organizational exposure
•Key elements of a successful cyber risk management program

Whether or not you have embraced a formal cyber risk management program, this session will provide practical advice on the evolving nature of cyber risk management, how to develop and incorporate an assessment process into your organization’s overall risk management efforts, and how cyber risk management can improve your organization’s ability to withstand a cyber-attack.

Whether driven by PSD2 compliance, market demand for mobile apps, or fintech competition, open banking is becoming a top priority for financial businesses. Through exclusive research and customer successes, we determined that building a modern application architecture with APIs, microservices and strong authentication is a key success factor in this space. In fact, our latest report shows that fully digital banks enjoy an estimated 25% cost-to-income ratio, versus 60% for traditional institutions.

For this webcast, we assembled a panel that includes Mehdi Medjaoui, author of Banking APIs: State of the Market, along with experts in API and security capabilities, to introduce the elements of modern application architecture that all digital banking business leaders should know about – API management, microservices, strong authentication and risk-based security. You’ll learn about:

* The current state of open banking, and what your peers are doing

* How to invest in modern application architecture to improve your open banking projects

* How to align better with IT to accelerate your time-to-market
