PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Technology is transforming how organizations operate—but it is also creating new risks that CFOs must understand, manage, and govern.
Cyber threats and financial crimes continue to evolve, making risk management a critical component of the CFO’s strategic responsibilities. At the same time, as artificial intelligence becomes embedded into financial processes, reporting, decision-making, and daily operations, finance leaders are facing new questions around data integrity, governance, cybersecurity, and organizational accountability.
Join cybersecurity experts, law enforcement leaders, and finance executives for a practical discussion on the changing risk environment and what CFOs need to know. Explore how organizations are developing AI policies, managing third-party technology risks, protecting sensitive data, strengthening cyber governance, and leveraging new tools responsibly.
Through real-world examples and emerging best practices, attendees will gain insights into balancing innovation with protection in an increasingly digital business environment.
