Digitization has become deeply embedded in enterprise strategy, as nearly all businesses and activities have been slated for digital transformations. The significant advantages of digitization, with respect to customer experience, revenue, and cost, have become increasingly compelling, and we are starting to see digital transformations in risk create real business value by improving efficiency and the quality of risk decisions.

The state of risk management at most global, multiregional, and regional banks is abundant with opportunity. Current processes are resource intensive and insufficiently effective, as indicated by average annual fines above $400 million for compliance risk activities alone. By improving the efficiency and effectiveness of current risk-management approaches, digital risk initiatives can reduce operating costs for risk activities by up to 30 percent, and a digitized risk function can provide better monitoring and control and more effective regulatory compliance. On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss digital innovations for risk management success.

As the number of internet-connected devices skyrockets into the billions, a data security strategy is an increasingly important part of any organization’s ability to manage and protect critical information. Enterprises are migrating to the cloud in droves, however, protecting data in the cloud remains a challenge as employees push to access cloud apps from any device, anywhere. In the last year alone, 1 in 3 organizations were hacked more than 5 times, and with the increased number of attacks the financial cost of security incidents is also rising.

In many cases, breaches are caused by a combination of benevolent insiders, targeted attacks, and malicious insiders. For example, targeted attacks are often enabled inadvertently by well-meaning insiders who fail to comply with data or security policies, which can lead to a data breach. In this webinar, our panel will discuss major trends impacting cyber security – from the rising frequency of attacks and types of threats that organizations should be concerned about the most, and they will adress the risks, priorities, and capabilities that are top of mind for enterprises as they migrate to the cloud.

Over 90% of the world’s data has been generated in the last few years. Accompanying this rapid growth in data comes exponential risks, as witnessed by the spike in cyber attacks of which no organization seems immune. The financial rewards gained by the perpetuators of cyber attacks is blatant, and this is driving continued attacks on companies containing massive amounts of consumer data. For these companies securing data is only half the battle. The risks can be greater when data is transmitted externally, hence it is critical that organizations know where sensitive data is going, how it is being transmitted, and how it is being handled and stored.

On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss some of the best practices organizations can consider to reduce the risk of suffering from a data breach, and to proactively prepare for any subsequent breach that could happen.

Today’s IT risk environment is more threatened than ever thanks to the growth in sophisticated cyber attacks and security vulnerabilities. Now, complex, hard-to-detect attacks could bring down not just a single institution but also large parts of the internet and the financial markets. Organizations need an intelligent approach when it comes to assessing IT risk and managing compliance.

Staying safe is no longer just about deflecting attackers. It’s about staying ahead of attackers who are already inside the organization, and banks are doing this through structured lines of defense that enhance security capabilities, involve IT risk managers in operations, and expand internal audits mandate so they can cover business disruption. On this webinar presentation we will address some ways how organizations can as a part of an Integrated Risk Management initiative orchestrate effective IT risk management across the lines of defense.

In today’s threat landscape, traditional approaches to securing data are falling short. Since 2015 we have seen some of the largest data breaches ever and it is clear that no industry or organization is immune from cyber attacks. The threat landscape is increasingly dangerous, while new technologies are distributing sensitive data farther across locations, devices and repositories. Starting in May 2018, enforcement will kick in on the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a move that could have a stronger privacy/security standardization effect than any technological effort has to date. Globalization efforts will make GDPR compliance essential for global companies wherever they are located.

The development of a comprehensive data-centric security program, including data discovery, classification, encryption, and file protection, can uniquely position your organization to protect what matters most, and make security move with your data to comply with global regulations such as GDPR. On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss the key points that you should consider when developing such a program for your organization.

The challenges that organizations face today are increasingly more complex than in the past. The constant change of the global economy, dynamics of business risks and opportunities, and an increased threat of cyber-attacks add complexities we’ve never faced. As organizations rely on more and more third parties to grow and thrive, they’re exposed to higher levels of risk, and regulators are focused on the need for organizations to manage 3rd party risk more effectively.

Manual processes, silos in contract administration, and technology and resource constraints can all lead to significant errors in the third party supply chain that leads to violation of privacy guidelines and security breaches, which cause substantial fines, penalties, and damage to brand value. On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss the risks and repercussions associated with third party contract management shortcomings, common gaps in third party contract management processes, examples of how new solutions and technologies can help organizations optimize their third party processes, and effective strategies for managing 3rd Party Risk.

Data security and the challenge of data protection is increasing in scope and difficulty. The massive volume of data that businesses are collecting is growing exponentially, and managing compliance delivery is a daunting task with huge negative consequences for getting it wrong. While organizations have long needed to safeguard intellectual property and confidential information, changes in information technology and business models introduce new threats, and new regulations. Governments and industry bodies are imposing new regulations to motivate organizations to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information. Responsibilities can vary widely by region and by industry, and staying on top of an ever-shifting regulatory landscape is complex and challenging, but it isn't impossible.

Successful organizations coordinate enterprise-wide regulatory compliance activities with tools to identify and address new and changing regulations, and are able to map the impact of these regulations across the entire infrastructure, and prioritize compliance activities according to business impact. By deploying a consistent, sustainable, scalable and measurable process for managing regulatory change, they are able to eliminate manual, non-scalable and non-strategic activities to reduce the cost and improve the speed of regulatory compliance programs.

On this webinar our panel of experts will discuss the key points to streamline your data-security program and meet regulatory change.

In today’s digital landscape, it’s much easier for criminals to access sensitive payment card data, not only gaining direct access to a consumer’s available funds, but also their personal identity. With cyber attacks becoming much more advanced, the PCI DSS standard has been forced to adapt to address these new threats.

However, PCI compliance is something that any organization can successfully achieve. The requirements of PCI DSS are clear, but it takes work to accomplish compliance across an organization. On this webinar our panel will discuss some best practices, and solutions that provides your business with an easy, cost effective and highly automated way to achieve compliance with PCI DSS in 2017.

Growing exposure to IT risks has made organizations across industries volatile. Recent IT vendor incidents like data and security beaches, violation of privacy guidelines, which caused substantial fines, penalties, brand value, highlight that IT vendor risks are business risks and require focus from the leadership. An immature ITVRM programs limits the insights which are necessary for strengthening vendor relationships and building a robust ERM program. Rather than treating each risk in isolation, organizations need to have an integrated approach to manage risks holistically and in line with their business operations and objectives. With the growing dependency on IT and IT vendors, organizations need to align enterprise and IT VRM objectives to build a resilient framework suitable for today’s environment.

During the session, panelists will discuss how organizations can strengthen vendor management in the current landscape and improve business performance.

- Causes of Vendor Risks incidents and the impact on the enterprise
- Best approach to align IT vendor risk to enterprise risk
- Building mature VRM Program
- Role of technology in integrating Vendor risk to Enterprise risk management

Organizations are suffering from volatility across all risk types, and in every organization, there are a multitude of applications and devices with threats and vulnerabilities. Every process, function and system has certain risks and compliance requirements, and senior management are being pressured to improve enterprise risk management capabilities.

An organization’s enterprise risk management (ERM) program can be a powerful management tool for achieving strategic and operational objectives, but it can be difficult to maintain and grow over time. If an ERM program is not moving forward it stagnates, so executives need to implement a program that evolves with the times. Implementation has its challenges but there are a range of responses that can be effective for each ERM program challenge. In this webinar our experts discuss these responses and address some of the ways to implement an evolving GRC program that gets boardroom backing.
