With the growth of the digital economy, cyber risk has become a major economic concern, with cyber incidents on the rise and both direct and indirect costs escalating. Global damages related to cybercrime were estimated at $1 trillion in 2021 (1% of the global GDP) and are estimated to reach $10 trillion by 2025. The financial sector is particularly vulnerable to cyber risk, as stated by Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, who identified cyber risk as the primary threat to the global financial system. Given the sector's high level of digitization and interconnectivity, it is a prime target for hackers, especially considering the significant potential gains for cybercriminals.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together communities in computer science, machine learning, data science, financial risks, and actuarial sciences to merge expertise, stimulate discussions, and foster new interdisciplinary collaborations on current issues of cyber risk and cyber resilience. The speakers include both academic and professional experts addressing technical and business-related questions.
The workshop will be conducted in-person.
Registration is free but mandatory, with a limited number of participants.
The workshop is supported by the "Technologies and Internet Engineering" chair (École Polytechnique, CISCO) and the "Stress Test, Risk management and Financial Steering" chair (École Polytechnique, BNP Paribas).
