SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The State of the Nation Cyber Webinar Series Part 1 - Cyber Risk Quantification
DESCRIPTION:Join Gallagher for part one of this year’s State of the Nation Cyber Webinar Series – Cyber Risk Quantification – Measuring the Cost of Cyber Risk Exposure. \nHow much should we invest in a new security control? What level of cyber insurance coverage do we need? Are we reducing the amount of cybersecurity risk within our business\, and if so\, by how much? \nCLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR FREE PLACE TODAY\nThese are questions that boards around the world are struggling to answer in the current environment. Traditional qualitative methods of measuring the level of cyber risk within an organisation currently do not provide accurate enough information to answer these questions. A more robust\, probabilistic and scenario-driven type of analysis is required. That’s where cyber risk quantification comes into its own. \nIn this webinar\, Gallagher cyber specialists will discuss this burgeoning field of risk quantification\, and explore: \n\nWhy traditional Cyber risk ‘heat maps’ are not up to scratch.\nWhat Risk Quantification involves\, and the methodology that it employs.\nHow small amounts of information and data can still provide key insights.\nHow Risk Quantification can help guide business decisions\, including control investment and insurance limits.\n\nThe key takeaways from this session will include how business leaders can use risk quantification to aid in their decision-making and leverage the Gallagher Cyber Risk Quantification service to provide key insights into the level of risk they face\, and where investments could make the biggest difference. \n\nSpeakers\n\n Johnty Mongan\, Head of Cyber Risk Management at Gallagher\n John Clarke\, Consulting Manager\, Cyber Risk Management at Gallagher\n\nFormat\n\nPanel discussion followed by audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The MindTech Method: improving your chance of success in digital mental health
DESCRIPTION:  \nDigital mental health is an attractive space for SMEs as it offers not only the potential to do good but to do it in new and innovative ways. Despite digital health being a billion-pound industry\, many companies struggle as they face challenges in evaluation and barriers to implementation. On the app store there are thousands of mental health offerings but very few are evidence-based and sustainable. Our mental health system is under immense pressure with a lack of coverage for specific care and long waiting lists. There is both the need and the enthusiasm\, so why is it still so difficult? \nMindTech is a national centre\, funded by NIHR\, focusing on the development\, adoption and evaluation of new technologies for mental healthcare and dementia. MindTech specialises in applications of digital technologies such as computerised therapies and diagnostics\, deployed on smartphone apps\, wearables and virtual reality\, as well as medical devices and assistive technologies. For the past 8 years\, and alongside their Involvement Team who bring expertise by experience\, they have been working with industry\, academia and the NHS to meet the unmet needs of patients\, families and professionals through new technologies. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of MindTech’s research and will share the lessons they have learned through these collaborations from development all the way through to adoption. It will highlight how researchers and companies can work with each other and the NHS to develop and evaluate high quality evidence-based digital mental health interventions that lead to real world adoption. \nMindTech is especially pleased to showcase case study presentations from three of their industry partners: \n– BfB Labs: From problem space to solution to implementation can be a long road. BfB Labs will share their journey to rolling out a multi-award winning ‘Digital therapeutic app’ (CE marked medical device) \n– ProReal: Avatar therapy and virtual world technology in mental healthcare \n– QbTech: Highlighting the support that they had to achieve their many successes \nAfter the presentations there will be a Q&A . \nDURATION: 1.5 hours \nThis webinar is brought to you by the National Institute for Healthcare Research MindTech MedTech Co-operative\, organised and delivered by Medilink Midlands and funded through a University of Nottingham Small Business Engagement Award. \nSpeaker Profiles:\n\nDr. Michael Craven\, Principal Research Fellow\, NIHR MindTech MedTech Co-operative\nMike leads the Technology\, Design and User Experience theme within MindTech.
