In April, ecoDa, AIG and The Internet Security Alliance (ISA) launched a pan Europe handbook on cyber risk management for corporate boards of directors in Europe. Since then many companies across Europe are now working in a ‘new normal’.
What does this mean for their cyber security and risk management ? With increasing importance on the digital channel what steps do companies need to make to help protect their resilience ? What are the opportunities that emerge by getting it right ?
Nowadays, cybersecurity is perhaps the most dangerous threat companies are facing, and the reality is that cybercriminals do not discriminate by size, and the aftermath of an attack can devastate small businesses as well as bigger ones.
The current environment makes it even more urgent to address the challenges of cybersecurity as cyber criminals around the world are capitalizing on this crisis to multiply their attacks. The crisis is transforming working methods in a way that is likely to be lasting, and means that businesses and board members must be all the more vigilant when it comes to cyber attacks.
Our panelists will discuss the issue and investigate how boards could integrate cybersecurity in their strategy to ensure the safety of their companies.
Speakers: Troels Ørting Jørgensen, Chairman of the Advisory Board, Board Leadership Society, Centre for Cyber Competences, Copenhagen Business School,
Klara Jordan, Executive Director, EU and Africa, Global Cyber Alliance, Carolyn Dittmeier, President of the Board, Statutory Auditors of Assicurazioni Generali SpA, Sebastian Hess, Cyber Risk Advisor, EMEA AIG.
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Michael Hilb, International Board Foundation, Member of the Board of Trustees.

Global value chains have been best practice for many years. This counts also for professional services where people have been travelling the World, to advice, educate and manage. It went into a full stop when confronted with COVID-19. We need to keep trust in supply chains in that context? How to mitigate interdependence and pressure for production relocation? What role for board members?
What production models are we seeing emerging? What are the arbitration criteria in the choice of location? Has the current crisis created a certain resilience in supply chains or has it on the contrary reinforced a certain distrust?

Certain observers believe that the Covid crisis could help to put values above valuations. Value creation could be driven by the objective of increasing human well-being while preserving the environment rather than on growth indicators. Is this an utopia? Will the current crisis close the gap between what markets value and what people value? Is it at all likely that we can get values back into the equation, when many companies are struggling for survival and settling for short term solutions? And if so, how can we go forward to accomplish this? Will customer mentality after their corona pandemic experience show any direction or support?
In addition, isn’t there a growing risk of fraud ? Companies could be tempted to falsify their accounts to benefit from state subsidies. Isn’t there a risk of subsidizing companies which are destined to disappear?
Confirmed speakers: Anthony Smith-Meyer, Independent Director, Compliance and Governance Activist and Educator, Dr Ian Peters, Director, Institute of Business Ethics (IBE), Roger Barker, Head of Corporate Governance, IoD, Bethan Grillo, Director, PwC Purpose Team, Moderator : Gro Braekken, ecoDa Board Member

The purpose of this webinar is to provide you with Continuous Personal Development and to highlight what are the main take-aways from the Volkswagen Diesel-Gate Case that can be useful from a board member’s perspective.
Despite its formidable reputation, Volkswagen was accused of “cheating the system” and allowing diesel emissions that deteriorated the environment and endangered citizens’ health since 2015. What has been called the Volkswagen scandal highlighted the devastating consequences of corporate misconduct.
