Join us for our next #RiskConversations webinar on two recent Geneva Association reports dealing with cyber risk and insurance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored for insurers the importance of linguistic clarity in policy wordings to avoid ambiguity and its potential consequences: litigation and reputational damage. In the cyber realm specifically, the re/insurance community would benefit from common language to define cyber events, as well as a common approach to attributing them. This would make it possible for industry to holistically assess their risk exposure, promoting the insurability of cyber risks.

These are the issues addressed in two recent reports by The Geneva Association and the International Forum of Terrorism Risk (Re)Insurance Pools (IFTRIP) Cyber Terrorism and Cyber Warfare Task Force.  

Join us for this Risk Conversations webinar with task force members and cyber experts, who will present the key takeaways of the reports and address pressing cyber concerns for insurers:

• Proposed language to describe cyber acts that fall in-between cyber terrorism and cyber war
• How the industry can collaborate to optimise existing processes for attribution and characterisation
• Potential for cross-sector collaboration as well, towards developing international norms around attribution

While specialty and cyber insurance had seen growth the last few years, the disruption of 2020 has accelerated that demand. All businesses, both large and small, are accelerating their digital transformation by changing their business models, products and services to meet new customer expectations. Just look at the rise in online shopping in the last year. In a post-COVID world, many businesses and industries are poised for growth, including e-Commerce retailers, e-Learning, virtual events and meetings, IOT-based products and businesses, virtual restaurants and much more. These businesses will need insurance coverages that may not fit with traditional commercial products, needing specialty and cyber insurance coverages instead. In particular, businesses are looking for cyber insurance solutions to provide protection to their business in a technology and competitive market that is changing faster than ever before.

In this rapidly changing insurance market, new competitors don’t play by the traditional rules of the past. They are looking at innovative new products, expanding channel reach, new partnerships and ecosystems to provide solutions to meet the changing market demand … with speed to market, implementation, and revenue accomplished in weeks or a few months rather than years. As 2021 unfolds, insurers should consider a mix of offensive and defensive plans to position themselves in providing new specialty products and services to meet a new digital business world and capture the opportunity for growth.

Hear from this panel about the unfolding market and growth opportunities and how Hartford Steam Boiler is poised to capture it with new innovative products – in particular cyber insurance – as well as new channels and partners, by leveraging a next generation platform that delivers speed to value.

70% of surveyed APAC insurers see improved customer experience (CX) as a key benefit of modernizing their systems.

Winning in a highly competitive and dynamic APAC insurance market requires a high level of customer-centricity and meaningful differentiation. But, true CX differentiation cannot come from sticking a digital facade on legacy core insurance systems that are slow, costly and difficult to change. Accelerating the shift to digital, Covid-19 has also highlighted the importance of having modernized systems to keep up with the fast-changing customer demands and expectations.

Red Hat recently commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a study to understand the state of core system modernization among APAC insurers. Of these 114 surveyed insurers, 85% of them are either embarking on or undergoing modernization efforts.

Join the TDI team and Forrester APAC guest speakers – Fred Giron, VP & Research Director, and YiQin Teow, Market Impact Consultant, as well as Jeff Picozzi, Global Insurance Lead at Red Hat to learn more about how to start your modernization journey to improve process efficiencies AND deliver better customer experiences:

In this webinar, you will:

• Discover how system modernization helps to enhance your customer experience delivery standards
• Understand why system modernization is more than just a technology play, but a crucial factor for the future success of insurers
• Hear about the experiences and challenges that APAC insurance leaders are facing in their modernization journey

Wednesday, 18/11/2020
3.00 p.m. SGT / 8.00 a.m. CET

In today’s digital evolution and transformation, scalable and sustainable governance of data is more important than ever. Will the new realities of data governance be a barrier or business opportunity?

In a big-data-fast reality, many financial institutions have to manage hundreds of thousands of data sources, potentially millions of different data sets, and a growing number of self-service users consuming and trying to manage that information.

At the same time, new and more prescriptive data legislation raises many questions on how to govern data in a user-friendly, secure, profitable and compliant way. Thus, it has become essential for every company to review its data governance policies. The handling of data has become a key topic on executives’ agenda.

Regulatory regimes around privacy, such as Thailand’s PDPA and globally the GDPR, HIPAA, GLBA, or CCPA, have put data governance in the news. Other data-related laws concerning security, localization, transfers and sharing of data continue to shape a complex regulatory environment. This trend in the global data market will soon be enhanced with new legislation related to the development and use of artificial intelligence.  

Against this background, data privacy has become an important compliance but also strategic consideration for all financial institutions. Data protection programs are setting the foundations for the continuing digitisation of the financial services sector as the data market becomes further regulated. 

At this APC live-webinar we will discuss how the financial services sector can embrace the opportunity of digitization by laying robust data governance foundations through sustainable privacy compliance programs. How can financial institutions comply and compete long-term in the increasingly regulated data market thus benefiting from a data-centric approach and the new opportunities with the use of artificial intelligence? How will data governance create a new playing field for FSI?

A top level expert panel will discuss how regulation is driving the digital transformation of the financial services sector, regional and global best practices as well as technology solutions that help meet the challenges and leverage the opportunities.

Key take-aways from this Expert Webinar are:

• – How data privacy has become an important compliance for all financial institutions
• – Date governance as strategic consideration will effect commerce to the max
• – How Data protection programs are setting the foundations for the continuing digitization of FSI
• – What to expect as the data market becomes further regulated…

The impact of Covid-19 (C19) on cyber risk is like a confluence of forces producing the ideal conditions for a cyber related storm that could impact critical functions and industry ecosystems. The global economy is in chaos, dealing with an unprecedented crisis affecting all supply chains and literally transforming society. Cyber threat actors have taken advantage of this “opportunity” with International, European and National law enforcement agencies reporting huge increases in cybercrime and fraud related activity.

It’s a new era and as we endeavour to “rebound” into a new normal, we have to be cognisant of a number of facts. Operational models have changed and therefore the cyber related risks have too. Our new greater reliance on the Internet, the digital economy and digital architecture is reflected in a new supply chain. The ubiquitous adoption of remote access technologies to enable WFH (Work from Home) practices often deployed on residential networks and personal devices perhaps did not always follow the normal assurances of enforced policies. The reality today, is that the “pre-Covid-19 cyber strategy” may not be aligned with the new business model of today.

As we deal with this “C19 Cyber Storm” we enter the “new normal” it is an imperative for boards to make risk informed decisions. They need to reassess the digital dependencies of their organisation and risks accrued to restore their risk profile to an acceptable level.

Join Paul C Dwyer, president of the ICTTF - International Cyber Threat Task Force as he outlines the challenges facing organisation’s and the 10 key steps they can take to transition to the “new normal”. This webinar will showcase content from the CCRO Certified Cyber Risk Officer course delivered in partnership with the ICA.

The recent release of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)'s policy announcement on their policy on eKYC (electronic know your customer) is one of the crucial elements for digital banking players keen on shaping and taking the lead in the neobank/digitalbank area. This new policy will immediately impact all financial institutions including banks, insurers, money changers and remittance companies. Policy documents also highlight the use of additional technologies like video calls, AI and machine learning tech to assist with performing eKYC verifications. As this conversation continues to expand, one significant area where eKYC will have a significant impact will be on curbing Anti Money Laundering (AML) by increasing personal privacy, increasing security, managing regulatory coordination, improve data protection and financial inclusion.

What can Malaysia learn from neighboring countries a little ahead of the curve like Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong and the Philippines?
What other innovations can be implemented to leapfrog ahead from the mistakes made by others?


In this Webinar, we explore what's worked, what hasn't and review what players in Malaysia and APAC are doing to balance technology advancements with regulatory controls.

The rise of digital disruption has progressively paved the way for the development of ground-breaking technologies, which have transformed the banking ecosystem and brought vast improvements to the customer experience. However, the full benefits of digital innovation can only be reaped by a digitally proficient workforce, and today’s competitive environment necessitates the creation of a sustainable talent pool with the right technical skills, strong digital expertise and the agility to adopt new ways of thinking.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also heightened the urgency to digitalise the financial services industry, forcing banks to re-examine their readiness to adapt, innovate, and adopt flexible work arrangements to stay connected with and provide an engaging experience for increasingly sophisticated customers.

“Accelerating Digital Workforce Transformation in Financial Services”

In this session, our panel of speakers will discuss the importance of digitally empowering the banking workforce, and address the challenges and concerns faced by banks that are looking to lay a strong foundation for developing a sustainable and digitally able talent pool. Discover how the banking workforce can digitally up-skill, develop new competencies and adopt new technologies, all of which are strategies crucial to ensuring that the banking industry remains relevant, attuned to changing customer expectations, and ultimately, capable of thriving in the new normal.

The year 2020 began with the Covid-19 global crisis, forcing unprecedented change upon leaders to manoeuvre into a new norm within their organizations. Insurers are being challenged to review and update their crisis management plans and take steps to continue operations with minimum disruption to clients. Balancing the need for responding to this influx of activity in centres with a remote workforce has to be addressed. During a major crisis like this, insurers should start preparing for the future by accelerating the digitization of their operations and planning for business opportunities ahead by quickly embracing the new “Data Driven Culture”. Unfortunately, only 8 out of 10 companies found that business adoption of Big Data and AI initiatives remains a major challenge. How can organizations quickly learn and adopt key drivers in Digital Transformation from similar financial intermediaries such as traditional banks ?

As the coronavirus infects the global economy to the point of virtual shutdown, daily predictions of GDP decline are getting worse by the day. Predictions that the world’s output could decline by at least 25% might be optimistic. International Labour Org, a UN agency, predicts the impact could see 195 million job losses.

No board can fulfil its oversight duties without considering artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to transform and disrupt strategy. AI’s potential value is enormous. According to a study of 16 industries by Accenture, AI is capable of increasing profitability rates by an average of 38% and add trillions of dollars in gross value by 2035.

To reap that value, companies are starting to compete using AI by disrupting industries with new business models. They have to simultaneously raise and serve customer expectations and partner with technically advanced ecosystem partners. It is timely for directors to perform both an inward and outward evaluation - reviewing their own knowledge and their company’s activities, as well as appraising the use of AI beyond the walls of the boardroom and the company.

This webinar will help boards and directors independently evaluate and guide management in using AI to advance their company’s strategy in a responsible way, providing them with frameworks and questions to assess their understanding of AI & their company’s future AI activities.
