The COVID-19 pandemic has revolutionized how we work accelerating our transition to virtual rendering our economies even more vulnerable to attack. For the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), which represents 60 percent of the world’s GDP and 48 percent of world trade, the stakes are unquestionably high.
As new technologies emerge and cyber threats proliferate and rapidly evolve, protecting our businesses, critical infrastructure, connected technologies (IoT), and supply chains must be the imperative.
To achieve this, we must establish a collaborative, regional approach to solve for the formidable
cybersecurity challenges that will define the next phase of the digital revolution and economy. Considering this, the 2022 ABAC Digital Working Group Cybersecurity Symposium will convene experts, business leaders, and policymakers to chart a path forward to a more secure digital future across APEC.
