Join us for a discussion on the connection between cybersecurity and economic development, inspired by the World Bank’s new book, Cybersecurity Economics for Emerging Markets: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/digital/publication/Cybersecurity-Economics-for-Emerging-Markets#1
Drawing on the analysis of over 40,000 cyber incidents across 179 countries, the book demonstrates why cybersecurity is crucial for fostering growth and resilience in today’s digital economy.
This webinar will address the unique challenges faced by developing nations and offer actionable strategies to strengthen resilience. Designed for academics, policymakers, and stakeholders, this session will provide insights into advancing sustainable development in an increasingly interconnected world.
