In a fast-paced, interconnected world, the global economy is experiencing unprecedented innovation and growth through the adoption of new technologies and the pace seems set to accelerate. In response, cyber security now presents a significant investment opportunity to investors and has moved from the domain of the specialist to be a core M&A workstream for buyers and sellers on both sides of the transaction.
A proactive, informed and sustained approach to cyber security goes beyond M&A and can not only protects business operations but also provides a the platform for value creation, digitalization and AI transformation.
Join Dentons, Aon and their guests for a discussion on the strategies and M&A best practice that financial investors and corporates are developing to improve how they understand, quantify and optimise cyber security, both in the deal and the portfolio, to support value creation and to advance use of digital operating models as well as the intersection between cyber security, technology, source code and intellectual property.
