Corporate Finance & Cyber Risk Workshop

Corporate Finance & Cyber Risk Workshop

The Corporate Finance & Cyber Risk Workshop explores how financial crises and cyber threats increasingly reinforce one another and what this means for today’s financial markets, institutions, and decision-makers. Hosted by the Turkish Business Forum in London, this focused evening workshop brings together finance and cybersecurity expertise at a moment when both disciplines are under growing pressure.

Periods of economic uncertainty expose weaknesses in corporate finance, from cash flow constraints to liquidity stress and fragile balance sheets. At the same time, financial markets have become one of the most attractive targets for cyber attackers, with incidents capable of triggering operational disruption, reputational damage, and even systemic market risk. This workshop addresses these challenges through practical, experience-driven sessions, rather than abstract theory.

The first session examines corporate finance under crisis conditions, breaking down how macro-financial shocks including interest rate changes, inflation, FX volatility, and shifts in demand impact corporate financial structures. Through real-world examples, participants will identify common financial decision-making mistakes and learn actionable strategies to strengthen resilience during turbulent periods.

The second session focuses on cyber risk in financial markets, highlighting why banks, fintechs, payment systems, APIs, and third-party suppliers are priority targets. Attendees will gain insight into common attack types, recent UK case studies, and the growing link between cyber incidents, regulatory scrutiny, and market risk.
