“From AI to nation-state attacks, cybersecurity risks to financial services firms continue to escalate. Although there’s no 100% perfect protection, advances in cybersecurity frameworks, paradigms, and technologies can mitigate risk,” says WSTA content committee chair and Nemertes CEO Johna Till Johnson. “This event reveals some of the most current thinking in risk reduction; it’s a must-participate for financial cybersecurity professionals.”

Event Description

In the financial services industry, cybersecurity needs to be thought of holistically in order to be effective. This starts with data analysis and classification, leads to data protection and privacy, and moves on to infrastructure and application security.

This event focuses on “full-stack” cybersecurity, architecture, engineering, operations, staffing, training, and SOCs/outsourcing. Although many themes are applicable across industries, these sessions will focus specifically on cybersecurity for financial services & banking firms. Topics to be covered include cybersecurity automation, ML, AI, SecOps, cloud security, network security, collaboration security, and much more.
