Video Conference Call: How Cybersecurity Risks Threaten Issuers

We at The Bond Buyer had a great discussion on how cybersecurity issues are affecting issuers -- answer? Big time. Lynne Funk Posner and Paul Burton had a discussion with Jon Savage, President of The Cybersecurity Company, and Geoff Buswick, S&P Global's Managing Director and sector leader for governments, on this important issue — some say crisis — that state and local governments face.

Our panel discussed the implications of these challenges from a municipal finance perspective and explored the ways that investors, rating agencies and other market participants are incorporating cyber risk into their credit evaluations.
