The average data breach takes 277 days to detect, and remediation costs to fix the data breach can average $8.1 million. Companies are attacked every day by cybercriminals intent on wire fraud and stealing customers' personal information. This threat has emerged simultaneously as the present environment provides opportunities for growth through M&A activity. The acquisition of a company with an undetected breach can result in liabilities that far exceed the purchase price. If your company plans to participate in the opportunity that consolidation presents, how do you realize the return on your investment when cyber risk can cause severe financial, reputational, and legal consequences?
Join Justin Daniels, a cybersecurity SME, and M&A attorney, for an interactive exercise that peels back the cyber risk inherent in the execution of M&A strategy.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine the security concepts that the C-suite needs to understand and what questions they must ask to assess cyber risk on an M&A deal
- Identify how financial, reputational, and legal risks show up when conducting due diligence on the target company
- Determine best practices to ensure the target is integrated with your existing company from a cultural, systems, process, and procedure perspective
