The Internet has driven economic growth and transformational change. However, increased reliance on digital technologies has created new opportunities for fraudsters, hackers, insiders and organised crime groups to compromise critical systems & data.

In this webinar, Alasdair Macfarlane, Head of Customer Security for RBS, discusses the key cybersecurity threats facing the public & private sectors, including:

  • financial crime and social engineering scams
  • disruptive and destructive cyber-attacks
  • intellectual property theft
