Dr Alexandra Andhov gave a presentation on ‘Blockchain As a Tool for Corporate Governance’ at October’s Tech&Law Breakfast, hosted by the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Law.
Dr Andhov has been working on a research project that addresses technology and trust in capital markets. Although skeptical at first about blockchain and all the noise around cryptocurrencies, Dr Andhow has devoted a lot of time in trying to understand this phenomenon and see its implications not only for capital markets, but also for companies and their corporate governance.
After the presentation, we caught up with Dr Andhov to dive a little deeper into this hot topic.
Som følge af den øgede IT-afhængighed og samfundsmæssige og teknologiske udvikling bliver IT-sikkerhed en stadigt stigende del af forretningen. Den danske finansielle sektor står over for en stor udfordring i forhold til truslerne fra cyberkriminalitet.
På konferencen Cybersikkerhed i den finansielle sektor vil vi fokusere på, hvordan den enkelte finansielle virksomhed sikrer sig bedst muligt mod angreb, lever op til de nyeste regler, forbereder sig til Finanstilsynets tilsyn og ikke mindst minimerer skaderne under og efter et succesfuldt angreb.
Emner på konferencen:
Cybertruslen mod finanssektoren
Finanstilsynets gennemgang af et tilsyn
IT-sikkerhed som business case
Tværgående samarbejde om cybersikkerhed
FSOR – Red Team-testprogram
Social Engineering og medarbejder awareness
Insidertruslen
Cyberkriminalitet – hvad kan vi forvente de næste par år?
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Technologies
Detektering af anomalier
Phishing-mail – udnyttelsen af den menneskelige nysgerrighed
Tab af kundedata og tillid
Dokumenteret IT-sikkerhed og risikostyring
IT-sikkerhedsstyring, rapportering og ledelsesopfølgning
Bliv skarp på næste generation af digitalisering i den offentlige administration.
Hvem henvender kurset sig til?
Du er en tech-interesseret offentlig ansat, der ønsker at forstå blockchain. Måske udvikler du digitale strategier og løsninger i dit job for en styrelse, i et ministerie eller anden type offentlig virksomhed.
Du er nysgerrig på, om blockchain kan drive innovation eller mere effektive arbejdsgange inden for dit ressortområde.
Du har behov for skarpe svar på, hvor moden teknologien er, og hvilke særlige udfordringer, der kan være ved at bruge teknologien i offentligt regi.
På kurset får du:
indsigt i teknologiens vigtigste koncepter
briefing på, hvor moden teknologien er i dag
sat ord på, hvordan blockchain adskiller sig fra en traditionel database
indsigt i de juridiske udfordringer, der knytter sig til blockchain i offentlig regi
forståelse for alternativerne til en blockchainløsning
sparring og feedback på idéer, hvor du tænker, blockchain potentielt er relevant
et rammeværk for at afsøge potentialet for blockchain i din egen organisation.
Kursets indhold
’Blockchain i det offentlige’ lærer dig om blockchain på en relevant, konkret og hands-on måde, og du får en god forståelse for anvendelsesmulighederne i en offentlig digital kontekst.
På kurset lærer du at sætte ord på, hvad blockchain er, hvad det ikke er, hvordan det relaterer sig til en traditionel database, og hvornår det giver mening at tage i brug.
Du får den nødvendige ballast til at kunne identificere, om blockchain kan være relevant i en given administrativ eller politisk problemstilling, og du får indsigt til at forstå teknologiens konkrete juridiske og tekniske udfordringer.
Building the Foundation of Blockchain and the Digital Economy.
The European Blockchain Convention Nordic Edition is a comprehensive one-day conference that brings together 500+ industry leaders, regulators, politicians, investors, developers, CTOs, lawyers and entrepreneurs.
Our mission is to provide relevant and inspiring content in collaboration with the brightest experts from the global Blockchain scene, while also facilitating an exclusive networking environment where all participants meet to form business relationships and seek potential partners for ventures.
We go beyond Cryptocurrencies. We focus on real life applications of blockchain and DLT in energy, finance, supply chain, government, insurance, healthcare and mobility.
The Nordic Region is known for the so-called Nordic model (or Nordic capitalism), in which comprehensive welfare states and progressive societies go hand in hand with free market and trade, and provide for a high standard of living. The Nordics also are renown for housing leading players in numerous business areas, such as food, high tech, medical / life sciences, design and oil. Last not least, the region stands as a model for sustainable development and
for work-life balance.
To facilitate continued innovation and growth of start-ups Nordic governments strive to support entrepreneurship. EU’s Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2018 (https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/desi) has Denmark as the front runner followed by Sweden and Finland. Headed by Denmark the Nordic countries form the most digital region in the EU. Copenhagen is, thus, the perfect venue to explore how digitalisation already has disrupted and will further affect various business sectors – and for asking what role the human factor will have in the post-digitalised business world and society.
As in the past, the Conference will combine lively panel discussions lead by entrepreneurs and industry speakers with interactive workshops on practice areas of general interest.
Topics will include:
Data protection and data security / hacking
AI / Machine
Blockchain technology / crypto currencies
Trends and innovation in the M&A process and in the funding of SME’s
Governance and structural issues for innovative and fast growing closely held companies
How disruption and AI will improve the life of lawyers.
The legendary ‘Closely Held’ spirit and social events will provide, once again, for an unforgettable networking experience.
