Forward Conference ?Cyber Protection from Digital 19 Outbreak??slotted for Dec 2

The Gold sponsorship of the Chartered Accountants?(CAs)?National Conference by Strategic Insurance Brokers?(Sib)marks a new frontier equal to the launch of the novel concept of a National Conference in Sri Lanka by CAs four decades ago. ?Sib?is a leading Insurance and reinsurance Broker in Sri Lanka,?empowered by?Uniba?Partners, the world?s leading client centric Global Broker network.

The National Conference concept?started?in 1979?led to many other professional bodies in the country organizing similar annual national parleys?to deliberate matters of professional importance?and?continuing?professional?development,?of their own professional entities. The Chartered Accountants? Annual Conference is now an event that?s regarded as the most influential business and finance strategy deliberation in the nation, attracting in excess of full capacity, around 2000 participants consistently.

The Forward Conference?hosted by SIB and?Uniba?Partners on ?Cyber Protection from the Digital 19 Outbreak?in?the New Normal World?, is a timely and pertinent but unique first time feature this year.

?Digital 19 Outbreak,? and ?Cyber Protection in the New Normal? are?the 2 presentations at the plenary sessions?of?the?Forward Conference, signifying the Institute?s drive and dedication towards having the country see the ways out of the Covid-19 pandemic induced economic crisis.

The?Forward?conference will be held on 2^nd?December, under the patronage of Chief Guest, State Minister of Money and Capital Market and State Enterprise Reforms,?Ajith Nivard?Cabraal. The?Strategic?Partner?SIB?with a strength of a century?empowered by UNIBA Partners?also?functions?as a Gold Sponsor?of the 41^st?CA National Conference.

The input of Mr.?Cabraal?who himself has been?a?Past President of CA SL and?a?founding organizer of this?CA?conference???now?one of the chief architects of the plans for economic resurgence???is seen as a key pointer towards the orientation of this?event, which is held in extraordinary times of economically induced stress.

?Businesses must realize that the pandemic-driven ?new-normal? will demand a quick transformation to new processes and methods if?they?are to remain relevant?,?said Minister?Cabraal,?making a broad brush statement about the Forward Conference, and predicting the way its?agenda is set to intersect with the economic imperatives of the day.??Issues such as how and why Sri Lanka?s Corporates,?and?Banks are better prepared for operational resilience,?should be deliberated and proper responses provided to the stakeholders,? he added.

?Cyber?Protection?is the only guarantor of?economic?sustainability?in our wired age,?and the relevance of the topic?will harness the power of this brainstorming meet-up,? said?Indrajith Fernando, director?Strategic?Insurance?Brokers?.

?Though the cyber insurance market is still young?and growing exponentially,?it?s now accepted?such cover?as a stand-alone?indemnification?separate from all other corporate covers, is imperative. The?Forward?Conference will emphasize this fact and discuss the?transformations in the industry?at large?that have happened as a result?,?Ramal Jasinghe a veteran in the industry?said.

The?Forward?conference Sessions will also be optimally webcast this year, as the conference gets underway at a time social distancing and other such factors that prevent more direct interactions are still in force, giving participants and others a starker picture of the general atmosphere of economic crisis in which the sessions are being held, Conference organizers said.

?We do not however plan on a conference theme or structure that invites panic. On the contrary, we are pooling some of the most recognized resource-person talent that will empower an attitude of positivity that will help charter a new course in these palpably tough times,? said?Manil?Jayesinghe, a?President of the Institute.
