Managing cybersecurity and mitigating cyber fraud risks

The ACC Hong Kong Board of Directors invites you to the following presentation, jointly delivered by Baker McKenzie.

As corporates go digital under the impact of COVID-19, the need to safeguard and strengthen cybersecurity has never been greater. Furthermore, the number of cyber fraud cases has surged with the slowdown in economic activity globally. From supply scams related to bulk purchases of personal protective equipment, to business email hacking incidents targeted at companies across sectors most susceptible to supply chain disruption – fraudsters demonstrate a high level of technical and economic sophistication as they exploit the fear and uncertainty created by the pandemic.

The webinar will assist corporates and in-house counsel in identifying, managing and navigating cyber fraud risks (including financial loss, identity theft, and personal data breach/leakage), limiting and curbing such exposures and responding effectively in the event of cyber fraud.

Our webinar directly addresses these issues and will cover:

1. Overview of development of privacy/breach reporting requirements across Asia Pacific

2. Potential cybersecurity and cyber fraud risks (internet scams, email phishing, etc.) arising from COVID-19 and major implications in Hong Kong and China

3. Panel discussion on insights and practical tips

• Strengthening cybersecurity - What to look out for
• What to do in the event of a data breach
• Mitigating cyber fraud risks - How to maximize the prospect of recovery
