Partner, cyber security risk advisory, data governance and emerging technologies
Observations from the Black Hat Conference (Day 1). The intensity inside matched the temperature outside (45 degrees!), as some 25,000 people all “met” in Vegas. Some observations from a number of the key sessions / meetings: 💥 Geopolitics and regional conflicts continue to play a significant role in the #cyberthreatlandscape (exacerbating the risk and complexity); 💥 Counterintuitively, some of our macro-concerns cyber risk, including those relating to democratic processes, are being addressed through good old-fashioned manual processes; 💥 The CrowdStrike outage remains a hot topic (as you may expect)…with lessons on #cyberresilience, for corporates and (unfortunately) threat actors; 💥 Third party #supplychain risk remains a very hot topic (especially the #software supply chain - see above). As one presenter put it: “Assume your supply chain is compromised”; 💥 The #threatlandscape ebbs and flows, but our adversaries remain motivated and well-funded. There is some optimism around recent law enforcement successes, despite the sense of whack-a-mole; 💥 A big focus on #corporategovernance at the heart of cyber resilience (recognising the people, process and technology challenges) and the role of our boards; 💥 Skills / capability challenges are not just in relation to cyber professionals, in fact, large companies like Microsoft are just as concerned about data governance expertise; and 💥 There are a LOT of new vendors growing successful businesses in all parts of the cyber security ecosystem with some new (and not so new) suppliers ‘peddling’ hard. More to come tomorrow… Peter Dalton Peter Jones Andrew Moir Laura Newton Annie Zhang Caitlyn Bellis Heather Kelly Josh Kain Marine Giral Christine Wong Brendan Donohue Merryn Quayle

However, the sector attracts a set of unique challenges that every investor should be across. Our #mining experts walk us through the key themes here. https://lnkd.in/ecuZUfZ3

Debt finance of the acquisition and development of data centres draws on principles of real estate, project, leveraged and Holdco financings (or some combination of these models). Our latest thought leadership explores the key focus areas for lenders in their bankability analyses of data centre financings, in particular as regards site and access to power and water supply and consideration of the customer base, contracts and termination rights. We also see evidence of sustainability-linked terms in data centre financings as a potent tool in transitioning towards a more digital yet de-carbonised economy.
