RIMS forum to focus on cyber threats

The Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) will hold its first Cyber Risk Forum in response to rising concerns about potential threats.

The event in Las Vegas will cover topics such as management collaboration and responsibilities, emerging risks, mitigation strategies and insurance.

“To remain competitive, organisations must embrace new technologies and face cyber uncertainties head on,” RIMS CEO Mary Roth said.

“While business leaders are aware of the importance of cyber security, the challenge is in keeping pace with the evolution of new threats.”

Writer and futurist Peter Warren Singer will deliver a keynote address, while other speakers include executives from Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Kaiser Permanente, Aon, Moody’s, Google, Marsh and PayPal. The forum will be held on September 7-8.
