Contributed by the ASIS Ukraine Chapter in conjunction with Cybersecurity Awareness Month, October 2022.
Description
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has elevated concerns about cyber security incidents and the resilience of critical business functions.
Beyond protecting their employees and supporting the people of Ukraine, businesses are also assessing their exposure and vulnerability to cyber incidents, technology disruption, related impacts, and resilience of critical services. These threats may arise from nation-backed attacks on systems and infrastructure or may be the direct results of armed conflict. Many expected that the kinetic military action would be synchronized with extensive cyber operations.
In this webinar, speakers will discuss the cyber-attacks
that were launched against Ukraine before and during the first days of the war
and how knock-on risks are playing out after six months of the conflict. They
will also share experiences and lessons learned by KPMG Ukraine and their
clients on crisis preparedness and management, relocation of personnel and
their families, continuity of IT and business operations during the war. Practical
tips will be provided and an exploration of what operational resilience really
looks like and how organizations can continue to adjust from a digital,
cyber-physical, and IT perspective while remaining successful.
