SUMMARY:FOCUS ON TOKENISATION
DESCRIPTION:Tokenisation is powering securitisation into the 21st century. From real estate to art\, Tokenisation has the potential to fundamentally transform how we approach investing.

A fireside chat with Natasha Deloge from the CSSF\, looking at the regulator’s approach to Tokenisation\, kicks off the event. Our panel of industry experts will discuss the business case for Tokenisation and what else is needed to develop the market. Finally\, we close the event looking into the impact of the EU MiCA Regime and other legal aspects surrounding Tokenisation. \nInteractive polls and a Q&A session will allow the audience to engage with our experts. \nFor more information on the complete programme\, as well as speaker details\, please see here \nFor sponsorship opportunities\, please contact the events team: Caroline Hoeltgen\, Tatjana Schaefer\, Aurélie Zambeaux

SUMMARY:Proving Security Effectiveness to Your CISO\, CFO and Board
DESCRIPTION:About this webinar\nInvestments in cyber security have rapidly increased in recent years\, yet high-profile breaches continue to make headlines\, and the economic and financial losses stemming from these breaches continue to grow.

SUMMARY:EXPERTS INSIGHTS : Impact et valeur de la digitalisation du processus KYC
DESCRIPTION:De plus en plus de services financiers sont réalisés en ligne que ce soit  par convenance\, pour des raisons d’efficacité ou par souci de santé.  Avec l’appréciation vertigineuse des actifs virtuels (souvent représentés par les crypto-monnaies) nombreuses sont les personnes qui effectuent des transactions avec ces actifs comme moyens de paiement ou dans un but spéculatif. Les établissements financiers sont donc plus régulièrement confrontés à des clients dont les fonds proviennent d’actifs virtuels. \nDans ce contexte\, la digitalisation du KYC permet aux fournisseurs de services financiers d’adapter leur mode opérationnel\, de rester compétitifs tout en se conformant à un cadre règlementaire toujours plus restrictif \, de bouleverser la chaîne de valeur ou encore de  créer une nouvelle offre. \nLors de ce webinar\, nos experts présenteront comment réussir la mise en place d’un processus KYC conforme et satisfaisant aux attentes clients.
