Fortifying Finance: A CISO Roundtable on Cyber Resilience in the AI Era
June 26, 2025 | 3:00 PM ET
The financial services sector remains a prime target for increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals, facing threats from identity theft and fraudulent transactions to nation-state activity and ransomware. In an environment rich with sensitive customer data and rapid technological shifts, including the rise of AI, robust cybersecurity is no longer just a defense – it’s a foundation for trust and continuity.
Join this exclusive virtual CISO roundtable designed for financial institutions to proactively address today’s most pressing cybersecurity concerns. We’ll delve into critical topics such as:
- Enhancing cyber resilience
- Countering advanced social engineering tactics and compromised accounts
- Mitigating ransomware risks, and securely implementing AI
This interactive discussion will empower CISOs to share insights, explore multi-layered security strategies, and identify cutting-edge solutions essential for protecting institutions and customer assets against the evolving threat landscape.
