Financial institutions in emerging markets can be at a particular disadvantage due to a lack of adequate resources to develop and maintain robust cybersecurity protocols. These kinds of security challenges often have a chain reaction––when one bank experiences a security breach the impact can be global, affecting banks across borders. In 2018, losses from cyberattacks were predicted to top $1.6 trillion and could reach as high as $6 trillion by 2021.

The threat of cybersecurity raises several questions for financial institutions and how they interact with each other, in particular for those based in emerging economies. Hence we need to examine ways in which these financial institutions minimize this risk, and provide a way to share best practices that these institutions use to mitigate the aforementioned risks.

As organizations continue to grapple with cybersecurity risk challenges in today’s interconnected and rapidly changing world. Where can they find a trusted voice to articulate these challenges and an innovative platform from which solutions can be found?

The development of the three case studies will leverage relationships within the industry to address the cybersecurity risk challenges in the region. The case studies will provide deeper insights into the African cyber risk management practices, specifically in the financial services sector.

Target: Risk managers, Auditors, IT and Security professionals.
