CFF Programs are driven by Key Issues and an Ecosystem Approach
Key Issues 2023
While the industry and the global economic ecosystem are seeking to thrive in an era of innovation led by digital, it is facing an increasing challenge in one of its most inherent aspect – which is cyber. Digital without connectivity of cyberspace is inconsequential and cyberspace without consideration to the cyber risk and security is not impactful.
The key issues identified for the current program year include a breadth of challenges and topics facing the CFF community globally. These were discussed and identified for deliberation and solutioning through the CFF platform.
