Setting the Scene
In an increasingly digitalised world, security threats are evolving and the threat of compromise to the external cyber ecosystem of organisations is growing. Threat actors are finding new weaknesses in even the most secure environments, and the evolution in the way we work (and how we get our work done) has increased the cyber risks for nearly every organisation.
For financial institutions, there’s no shortage of entry points. From online banking services to the growing use of social media and instant messaging applications, these crucial parts of a business are also easy targets. For these organisations, taking a proactive approach to protect your customers and your brand is the answer.
Join our executive forum to hear from John Dee, Director of Strategy at Somerford Associates and Ron Feler, Global Head of Threat Intelligence at BlueVoyant, as he presents recent findings on emerging external cyber threats that represent critical concerns for financial organisations of all types, as well as advice on mitigation strategies, which we hope can be taken advantage of and applied to benefit our vastly interconnected modern business ecosystem.
Join our Digital Executive Forum to hear about:
• Emerging cyber fraud techniques used by today’s threat actors against financial services institutions and their customers
• Trends in brand abuse and external cyber threats
• The advantage of establishing a proactive approach to risks to your organisation's external cyber ecosystem
