M&A and Cyber Risk: The Interesection of Opportunity and Risk

Learning Objectives

To recognize the security concepts does the c-suite need to understand and what business questions must they ask to assess cyber risk on an M&A deal.
To identify the financial, reputational, and legal risk show up during the course of conducting due diligence on the target company.
To recall good practices to ensure the target is integrated with your existing company from a cultural, systems and process and procedure perspective.

Course Description

The average data breach takes 196 days to detect and remediation costs average more than seven million dollars. Marriott, Neiman Marcus and Yahoo! are just three examples of instances where purchasers failed to identify cyber risk in the M&A due diligence process.

Technology is transforming many industries resulting in M&A growth opportunities. At the same time these M&A opportunities are happening, digitization has made privacy and cyber security concerns paramount. If your company is going to participate in the opportunity that M&A growth strategy presents, how do you realize the return on your investment when cyber risk can cause severe financial, reputational and legal consequences? Companies are besieged every day by cyber criminals intent on wire fraud and stealing personal information of their customers. This threat has emerged at the same time the present environment provides opportunities for growth through M&A activity. Your acquisition of a company with an undetected breach can result in liabilities that far exceed the purchase price. If your company is going 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 cyber security SME and M&A attorney for an interactive exercise that peels back the cyber risk inherent in the execution of M&A strategy.

Cyber attacks on companies can do more than violate laws and regulations. A business that is being acquired or generally exploring a sale typically wants a maximum return, and the acquirer wants to make sure its target is valued appropriately and is a sustainable asset. Insufficient investment in cyber security and digital infections can hamper or even kill those goals by reducing the value of the target’s assets, damaging its brand and derailing its growth prospects.

Highlights of the webinar :

Benefits of conducting cyber security due diligence before merging with or acquiring an organization
Why cyber security is an important risk factor in M&A deals.
Understand the threat landscape and identify common threats
Assessing risk accurately before taking on liability in mergers and acquisitions

This webinar will help the professionals to understand M&A cyber risk and opportunity in their practice.
