Reputational impact from a cyber event
In 2021 the threats on our IT systems, information and infrastructure have never been more prevalent. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in most of the country working remotely, spreading the existing IT network far and wide, and increasing the risk of an information security breach or data protection incident. In this webinar we will hear from a number of speakers on current and emerging threats, and how we can effectively mitigate the cyber related risks of today and tomorrow.
The webinar will consider best practice for the management of cyber risk, and what practical steps we can take as risk practitioners to ensure that our organisations are adequately protected. We will also look at how cyber incidents can affect an organisation's reputation, and consider some lessons learned from previous information security breaches. The event will provide an insight into current information security threats of both today and tomorrow.
The speakers include cyber risk experts from both Deloitte and PwC. They will use the lessons learned from past security incidents to inform the audience of the practical steps they can take as risk practitioners to protect their organisations, in a continually evolving technological landscape.

Managing Reputational Risk
Reputation is the general belief or opinion that other industries or people have about the company. It is how you are considered or labelled - good or bad. Protecting your company’s reputation and brand is a major challenge but I can be manageable through good risk management and business continuity. Reputational risk is not one single risk but the impact of a number of risks.
