AIMA Fund Manager Briefing: The Hidden Threat: One in Three Cyber Breaches Start in the Supply Chain

UK In-person

As digital ecosystems grow, a single failure can ripple across industries. A June 2025 report from Aon showed that cyber events that cause reputation risks can lead to an average 27% drop in shareholder value. For investment managers and their portfolio companies, the stakes are even higher due to heavy reliance on external vendors, making third-party risk management critical. Regulations like DORA and NIS2 now push firms toward greater accountability, but is compliance alone enough to deliver real cyber resilience?

In the session, we will cover:

  • Why must firms treat cyber as a core business risk – not just an IT issue.
  • Why traditional point-in-time cyber risk assessments fall short, and how firms can adopt continuous, intelligence-led risk management.
  • What are the best practices for third-party and portfolio risk management?
  • With greater digitalisation and heightened geopolitical tensions, how should firms prepare for cascading cyber incidents that impact entire sectors?

Speakers:

  • Nadji Raib, Vice President, EMEA, KYND
  • Aswin Nair, Senior Operational Due Diligence Analyst, Albourne
  • Mandeep Thandi, Director of Cyber and Digital, Talan
  • James Delaney, Managing Director, Asset Management Regulation, AIMA
