On 18 April 2023, Steve Tan, Deputy Head of the Technology, Media & Telecommunications Practice and Director of Rajah & Tann Cybersecurity, was one of the speakers at an event titled “Preparing for the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Threats Facing Businesses, In Conversation with Admiral Mike Rogers”. Brunswick’s Senior Advisor Admiral Mike Rogers is a four-star admiral whose 37-year career in the U.S. Navy culminated as Commander of the US Cyber Security Command and Director of the National Security Agency.
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly, accelerated by ongoing digital transformations and remote work. Ransomware is becoming more sophisticated, and state-sponsored attacks are confronting businesses with a new and growing range of challenges. Topics discussed at the event included (i) the next generation of cybersecurity threats and preparing for these; (ii) the implications of rising geopolitical tensions in the cybersecurity domain; (iii) the legal and communications considerations that corporate leaders should be reflecting on to mitigate the risks of cyberattacks; and (iv) some practical considerations in managing data breaches/cyberattacks.
The event was jointly sponsored by Brunswick Group and Rajah & Tann Singapore.
