FT Protecting Banks in Cyberspace 2017 | Financial Times | 28 November 2017 | Financial Times Headquarters, One Southwark Bridge London SE1 9HL, UK

What are the biggest threats facing banks in cyberspace? Where do they come from? And what should you be doing to manage them? Join bankers, regulators, security consultants, information technology specialists, lawyers and government officials at this lively and informative half-day event to find out.

Cyber attacks on banks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. In the worst reported cases millions of pounds has been stolen, or data on thousands of customers has been compromised. Even when no money or information is lost, the legal, regulatory and reputational consequences can be serious. The cyber breach at credit-reporting company Equifax and the Petya attack on numerous organisations in more than 60 countries are just two of many recent incidents that have set alarm bells ringing at bank HQs.
This half-day event will bring together bankers, regulators, security consultants, information technology specialists, lawyers and government officials to discuss the threats facing banks in cyberspace. It will identify some of the biggest risks, where they come from and what banks should be doing to manage them.

Specific discussion points will include the development of innovative technology and stricter procedures to improve security; the role of the board of directors and executive committee; the regulatory dimension, including EU legislation coming into effect next year forcing companies to secure their computer networks and protect their data; and how the banking industry is working collectively to secure the financial eco-system.

Moderated by Financial Times journalists, FT Protecting Banks in Cyberspace promises to be a lively and informative event, with ample opportunity for networking and engaging with speakers. If cyber security is within your area of responsibility, this is an event you cannot afford to miss.
