ABOUT
Following the recent Liberty Holdings’ data breach, it is more critical than ever for organisations to seriously consider the impact that data breaches or cybercrimes might have on their businesses and clients.Cyber crime is not a matter of “if” but “when” businesses will come under attack from hackers. Therefore, organisations must be ready now and take measures to mitigate the consequences of inevitable data breaches and risks.
What are some of the cyber risks? What are the implications on you, your organisation and clients if you don’t comply with cyber laws or if you act irresponsibly in today’s digital world? What are the proactive preventive measures to be implemented to limit your liabilities? How do you mitigate the business risk? What does the private sector need to do to get ready for the Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill? What are the obligations on financial institutions, electronic communications service providers (ECSP) and businesses that have a critical information infrastructure (CII)?
