The Forward Conference hosted by SIB and Uniba Partners on ‘Cyber Protection from the Digital 19 Outbreak in the New Normal World’, will be held on December 2, under the patronage of Chief Guest, State Minister of Money and Capital Market and State Enterprise Reforms, Ajith Nivard Cabraal.
The Gold sponsorship of the Chartered Accountants (CAs) National Conference by Strategic Insurance Brokers (Sib) marks a new frontier equal to the launch of the novel concept of a National Conference in Sri Lanka by CAs four decades ago.
The Chartered Accountants’ Annual Conference is now an event that’s regarded as the most influential business and finance strategy deliberation in the nation, attracting in excess of full capacity, around 2,000 participants consistently.
The Strategic Partner SIB with strength of a century empowered by UNIBA Partners also function as a Gold Sponsor of the 41st CA National Conference.
‘Digital 19 Outbreak,’ and ‘Cyber Protection in the New Normal’ are the 2 presentations at the plenary sessions of the Forward Conference, signifying the Institute’s drive and dedication towards having the country see the ways out of the Covid-19 pandemic induced economic crisis.
“Businesses must realize that the pandemic-driven “new-normal” will demand a quick transformation to new processes and methods if they are to remain relevant”, said Minister Cabraal, making a broad-brush statement about the Forward Conference, and predicting the way its agenda is set to intersect with the economic imperatives of the day. ‘Issues such as how and why Sri Lanka’s Corporates and Banks are better prepared for operational resilience should be deliberated and proper responses provided to the stakeholders,’ he added.
‘Cyber Protection is the only guarantor of economic sustainability in our wired age and the relevance of the topic will harness the power of this brainstorming meet-up,’ said Indrajith Fernando, director of Strategic Insurance Brokers.
‘Though the cyber insurance market is still young and growing exponentially, it’s now accepted such cover as a stand-alone indemnification separate from all other corporate covers, is imperative. The Forward Conference will emphasize this fact and discuss the transformations in the industry at large that have happened as a result’, Ramal Jasinghe a veteran in the industry said.
‘We do not however plan on a conference theme or structure that invites panic. On the contrary, we are pooling some of the most recognized resource-person talents that will empower an attitude of positivity that will help charter a new course in these palpably tough times,’ said Manil Jayesinghe, President of the Chartered Institute.
