Cyber threats are creating the need for improved approaches to ensure a safe and reliable financial industry environment. Information sharing around common threats and risk areas between financial services organisations has long been a common practice. However these arrangements tend to be amongst local geographic or vertical groups and rarely extend into the larger FI community ie Banks insurance investments and other FI participants who share with their local relationships but rarely exchange meaningful threat risk intel with other FI communities. Cyber risks now transcend all geographic and industry sub-groups and industries and the need for comprehensive high speed sharing and solution development around cyber-attacks has never been greater. Why should FIs leverage information sharing as an effective risk reduction approach? What are the major concerns in this area? How can FIs collectively improve their threat protection? This session will explore these issues and more.
