Cryptocurrencies, typically created using blockchain technologies, are available in digital form only and provide a different way of trading that is generally presented as being ultra-secure, but is it? After all we know that the wallets cryptocurrencies are stored in can be stolen if passwords are not secured. If the cryptocurrencies are kept on centralised exchanges they can be hacked a problem because for now this is the easiest way of doing business. Moreover, there are so many fraudulent cryptocurrencies and exchanges which are not easy to identify, especially for the untrained eye, and here one of the key features of such currencies, that they are not regulated, becomes a security risk. So what are the security issues surrounding this modern form of doing business? This webinar will discuss:

Are cryptocurrencies a safe way of doing business?
What are the true security risks and how can they be managed?
What might the forms of securing cryptocurrencies in the future look like?

Panellists:
Peter Tan – ASIS Professional Standards Board (Singapore)
Aidan Larkin – Founder and CEO at Asset Reality (UK)
Michael Gips – Principal at Global Insights in Professional Security (US)
