Introduction: In a digital asset ecosystem built on decentralization, code, and cryptography, trust remains the ultimate currency. But what happens when cyber governance fails to keep pace with market growth? This session will explore the true cost of weak cyber oversight in crypto — from financial loss to systemic risk and reputational collapse. Guided by real-world cases, data from 2025, and expert insights, we’ll uncover how crypto custodians, regulators, and technology providers can build trustworthy systems that go beyond technical security — and address the governance layer often overlooked. This session is designed for risk managers, compliance officers, internal auditors, cyber security leads, and crypto executives who are responsible for protecting digital value in a highly volatile landscape and will have a focus on market growth and adoption, how big was crypto cyber crime and a critical mission for cyber security and risk management professional just to name a few!
