Event Description

Financial services firms know all too well that cybersecurity threats are continually growing in power and sophistication. To counter those threats, cybersecurity teams and initiatives need to stay continually focused on the future: Only by putting in place forward looking defenses can they stay protected.

This event focuses on the cybersecurity strategies, technologies, and practices that will help financial firms fight the “next war” in cybersecurity—the one that’s just over the horizon.

Topics include:

•     Zero Trust Security
•     Quantum computing and cryptography
•     Blockchain protection
•     Protecting the Metaverse
•     Cybersecurity automation, ML, AI
•     Advanced predictive analytics    
•     Mobile protection
•     Third-party risk management
•     Cloud workload protection
•     Application security testing
•     Collaboration security
•     Data protection
•     API Security

The panel of industry experts discusses how the threat landscape (and regulatory environment) is growing and changing and shares best practices on how to adapt to these changing environments. They discuss emerging cybersecurity technologies and their potential impact on financial services firms, as well as how SecOps needs to adapt to help firms confront emerging challenges.
