In an era where digital enablers are not just a trend but a business imperative, the intersection of cyber security and corporate strategy, particularly Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), is increasingly critical. The growing digital risks amplifies the significance of robust cyber security measures in M&A, transforming them from mere safeguards to key drivers of business valuation and strategic success.

Watch this on-demand session when we set focus on two key elements in the cross-field of cyber and M&A:

  • Cyber Security Impact on Business Valuation In the complex landscape of M&A
    Cyber security stands as a pivotal factor influencing business valuation. As companies merge and acquire, the blending of digital infrastructures and data assets brings unique vulnerabilities and opportunities. Evaluating the cyber security posture of involved entities is not only about mitigating risks but also about identifying the true value of digital assets and exposures these bring to strengthen the hand in the negotiations. We will zoom in on real world cases and explore the 10x rule of cyber in M&A.

  • Navigating Cyber Risks Pre- and Post-Merger
    The journey of M&A is fraught with potential cyber risks that can emerge both before and after the merger. Pre-merger assessments must rigorously scrutinise the cyber health of target entities, identifying latent threats that could compromise the merger's success. Post-merger, the focus shifts to seamlessly integrating cyber security cultures, policies, and practices to safeguard the newly formed entity against emerging threats and align with strategic business objectives. Join us in a comprehensive exploration of these critical aspects of Cyber Security in Mergers and Acquisitions. Industry experts will delve into the nuances of cyber security's impact on business valuation and the strategies to effectively manage cyber risks throughout the M&A process.
