This episode looks at how the virus is accelerating digitalisation and the cyber and data challenges it has brought into sharp relief. We consider the following key questions and actions for management:

• The cybersecurity risks made more acute by the current disruption, including fraud and ransomware attacks, and the steps you need to take to deliver cyber and data security and operational resilience;
• Data protection issues, including the tension between balancing competing rights of data privacy and public health; and
• Incorporating the learnings from recent disruption into business and digital strategies going forward.

This episode is chaired by Paula Hodges QC, head of Herbert Smith Freehills' global arbitration practice, who is joined by experts from Herbert Smith Freehills who share their insights from the current crisis.
