6th Annual Financial Services Cyber Security Forum 2021 | City and Financial Global | 25 May 2021 | Virtual

Cyber criminals have capitalised on the rapid digitalisation of the industry. Attackers are improving their tactics and techniques faster than security teams can keep up and their methods grow more sophisticated each year. This puts the onus on financial institutions to ensure that they have the latest state-of-the-art cyber protections in place to protect their systems and their customers’ data.

The recent SolarWinds cyberattack was a wake-up call to the world. Its full impact is, as yet, unknown, but is expected to be significant, given the level of access it provided. It served as a timely reminder to financial institutions that complacency about the adequacy of their cyber defences in misplaced. Banks and other financial services companies need to continuously invest in systems and people, if they are going to stay one step ahead of increasingly sophisticated and technologically very capable cyber criminals. It is therefore vital for financial institutions to keep themselves well informed about the rapidly changing threat landscape and the most effective defences that are available to counter these threats.

The 6th Annual Financial Services Cyber Security Forum, which will take place virtually on 21 April, is specifically designed to address these needs. This year’s edition builds on the success of our 5 previous cyber security sectoral summits, which have enjoyed the support of the National Cyber Security Centre, NCA, NHS Digital, FCA, HM Treasury, Energy UK, UK Finance and other top industry bodies.

The programme has been designed to address the key issues that have been identified as being of most concern to organisations during this period of increased cybercrime activity. During this highly focused one-day event you will receive practical advice on how to prevent malicious cyber activity, how to build a strong and lasting cyber-defence plan, and how to deal with the incidents if they have already happened.

Who should attend?

The virtual event will be of particular interest to CISOs; security, data privacy, data security and GDPR professionals; senior managers within IT and operations; and cyber security, cyber resilience, third party and supply chain risk managers in all financial institutions. It will also be of interest to the advisory community and cyber security solutions and training providers.
