Associate Director: Public Finance Cyber Risk
Fitch Ratings
Cyber attacks are going strong and the recent water systems cyber events in 3 small towns in Texas are making sure the state, as well as the rest of the country, remain on high alert. We will examine the tangible and intangible costs of cyber breaches and potential risk-mitigation strategies that municipalities can implement.
As cyber threats mount across the public finance industry, our panel of experts will discuss the severity of what the industry faces, what kinds of best practices for guarding against them exist – or should exist – and why all players in the industry need to coalesce around common goals.
From what to disclose and how to insure against threats, all parties – issuers, bankers, advisors, investors and trustees – need to better prepare for the expected onslaught of threats.
