I plan on being in attendance, but what if something comes up and I have to cancel?
We understand that something may come up on your calendar! Before canceling with us, please know that we will have a separate room for attendees to step out for work-related activities (meetings, emails, conference calls, etc.). If you must cancel, we just ask that you let us know at least 48 hours in advance so that we can open up the waitlist for another member.
Of all industries, digital transformation has had the greatest impact on BFSI business models. The cloud, big data, and mobility are creating disruptive and colossal opportunities for those moving deftly and securely into the new digital era. The 2019 Thales Data Threat Report, Financial Edition, contains survey results and analysis from IDC Research. This study reports that more U.S. financial institutions are on the leading edge of digital transformation than any of the other industries studied, with 49% of financial services respondents saying they are aggressively disrupting the markets in which they participate.
In this presentation, we reviewed and discussed the results of how your industry peers are prioritizing data security investment and their comparative success in risk reduction vs other industries in the age of digital transformation.
Today’s enterprises depend on the cloud, data and software to make decisive decisions. That’s why the most respected brands and largest organizations in the world rely on Thales to help them protect their most sensitive information and software wherever it is created, accessed or stored – from the cloud and data centers to devices and across networks. As the global leader in cloud and data protection, our solutions enable organizations to move to the cloud securely, achieve compliance with confidence, and create more value from their software in the devices and services used by millions of consumers every day.
