Past Event - IMDDA Webinar: ODD and Cybersecurity in the Coronavirus Era

Challenges, Considerations and Keys to Success

Hosted by the Investment Management Due Diligence Association (IMDAA)

What to Expect

The cybersecurity phenomenon has turned the traditional Risk Management Paradigm on its head. The investment management industry, like many other industries, has been forced to adapt to a whirlwind of new state and federal laws, disparate regulations, evolving technologies, prevailing security frameworks and incongruent and ever-changing best practices. Against this backdrop, ODD professionals are charged not only with identifying and understanding these standards but also evaluating them. 

Towards that end, the IMDAA has assembled a team of technological, security and regulatory experts to discuss the prevailing standards on what constitutes a model Cybersecurity Program for asset managers and how to achieve and appropriately scale these standards.
