The Critical Role of Cybersecurity in M&A: A Framework for Mitigating and Managing Risk - Livestream

With the ever-increasing threat landscape impacting businesses globally, understanding cybersecurity risk has become an essential component of the mergers and acquisitions process. M&A decision-makers need to understand the potential cybersecurity risks of the company they are acquiring, which, left unchecked, could result in a series of negative consequences, including delayed deal close, diminished market value, or tarnished brand reputation.

On November 9, join the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and Cisco for a webinar discussion about a new Cybersecurity M&A Model Framework designed to guide executives, cyber auditors, investing teams, and boards as they consider cybersecurity risk during the M&A process. The conversation will consider how  firms can tailor their approach to the cybersecurity audit process based on deal type, industry, and firm size. Panelists will share insights from developing and utilizing the framework, examples from experience on both sides of the M&A process, and discuss what challenges remain for the future.

Speakers: Jason Button, Cisco; Mohammad Iqbal, Cisco; Prakash Krishnan, UC Berkeley, Ann Cleaveland, Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, Moderator
