Trust is the foundation of financial services. And maintaining trust today has never been more challenging as cybersecurity threats have moved from attacks on individual institutions to attacks on the financial system at large. Compounding today’s challenge is the new work-from-anywhere reality that takes security outside your business’ four walls where cyber risks have exponentially grown in the unmanaged home teleworking environment. As the financial services industry takes in the highest cost from cybercrime, an average of $18.3 million per company, can your organization afford not to have visibility into where cyber risk resides?
Join Forcepoint’s Chief Strategy and Trust Officer Myrna Soto and Global Security Strategist Homayun Yaqub for a candid discussion on addressing financial services’ security challenges today where viewing cyber risk as an information-technology issue will only continue to fall short. And the modern cyber path forward requires cyber integrated into the corporate risk framework making it critical to both business growth and competitive advantage in the years ahead.
Attendees will learn:
· Proliferation of work-from-home environments today requires clear awareness of where risk resides – and how to manage that risk
· How to operationalize your organization’s cyber risk strategy to address today’s sophisticated threat landscape including insider threats, ransomware, data manipulation, nation-state and supply chain attacks and more
· How integrated cybersecurity risk management enables financial institutions to achieve positive business outcomes, including improved regulatory alignment, effective risk management, preservation of brand equity, and increased shareholder value.
