“As a sector we need better collaboration amongst ourselves and with government to share intelligence and grow the necessary talent to keep us safe and secure in the future. We have to expect the unexpected”.
Given the vital strategic importance of cyber security, a reactive approach to managing cyber risk is no longer sufficient. Most financial services firms in the UK continue to make substantial efforts to improve the way they prevent and detect cyber threats – steps which have proven to be as important as building the capability to respond efficiently to cyber breaches across an organisation.
With the focus clearly shifting from reacting to cyber security breaches to effectively preventing them, two-thirds of financial services institutions will be investing in "preventative technology” software, cybersecurity training and awareness programmes for staff during the next 12 months.Legislation and regulation will also be important factors in developing cybersecurity strategies in the next couple of years . New cyber & data protection regulations present a challenge, but also an excellent opportunity to develop an insight-based, risk-focused and preventive approach to cyber risk across the sector.With all the above in mind, we are delighted to announce the launch of City & Financial Global’s 4th Annual Financial Services Cyber Security Summit, which will take place in Central London on 12 July 2017. Senior representatives from the Bank of England, FCA, HM Treasury and The Cabinet Office will give keynote addresses in the morning. This forum builds on the success of the previous three editions of this conference, which all attracted 150+ senior FS industry delegates, government officials, regulators and technology providers from the UK and beyond.
This year’s themes will include:
Senior management of all financial institutions, including chief executives, chief information security officers, chief digital officers, chief risk officers, heads of cyber security, heads of cyber defence, heads of compliance, heads of business continuity, heads of cyber threat intelligence, heads of operational risk, heads of legal, as well as the advisory community across the sector.
