Join us at the Hilton in Sydney on Thursday, 1 September as we help you to navigate the key post-pandemic trends coming up in 2022, including digital transformation accelerating cyber-attacks, data security concerns with the next phase of Open Banking, and partnering with key stakeholders and financial regulators to shape security practices.

Event Snapshot

Going into 2022, cyber-attacks remain the most difficult threat and risk in the financial services industry despite significant advances by the sector to boost cyber defence, vigilance and resilience. Cybercriminals are still one step ahead of the game, increasing the precision, sophistication and intensity of their malicious attacks along with the take-up of digital products and services providing ample opportunity for cybercrime.

Facing continuous surges in cyber threats, especially in 2021, the financial services industry recorded the second-highest number of data breaches across all sectors, leaving leaders trapped in an unending battle for control against criminal hackers. Not only are network breaches and data loss on the line, but security teams have the ultimate duty to protect customer privacy and secure the prime assets of institutions.

Agenda
  • Historic lessons for cyber safety 
  • Building a coalition of the willing
  • Controlling the controllables
  • Cyber leadeship priorities that matter

 

Financial Services has never been more dependent on data, at risk of cyberattack or under the regulatory compliance microscope as it is today. At the same time, digital transformation initiatives are reliant on DevOps for delivering innovation solutions to business problems and opportunities at high speed. Consequently for FSIs, there is a need to shift-left and embed data security into their development pipelines.

  • What does shifting left for data security looks like?
  • How shifting left doesn't necessarily mean compromised security or compliance, or increased business risk.
  • How organisations have embraced shifting left to reduce costs and time to value.

 

 

  • Understanding your board and how to communicate risk
  • The sharp eye regulators have on Boards
  • Cyber war stories and examples of the good, the bad and the ugly

 

 

  • Mergers & Acquisitions are accelerating as organisations look to grow and increase value for their shareholders
  • Why must cyber teams be engaged and the benefits of engagement?
  • How can zero trust network access improve the time to value to achieve business synergies?

 

The State of Security in 2022 and Beyond

  • Building digital trust in a hyper-connected service economy
  • How are emerging technologies reshaping cyber security risks and controls?
  • Taking a proactive approach to strengthen enterprise cyber defences
  • How has the cyber security risk landscape evolved in 2022, and how will it continue to evolve?

Sponsored by Rapid7

 

  • The Labour government has arrived with a definite focus on cybersecurity.
  • At the intersection of geopolitics, organised crime, and Covid-19, is Cyber Security.
  • This talk will explore our changed attack surfaces, the drivers that are shaping the threat landscape, and what we need to do to succeed in this future of security.
  • What tricks are your employees falling for, and how do bad actors exploit them?
  • How we can fix the talent issue by training more people and increasing skilled migration
  • What is the impact on my organisation?
  • Most companies have a ratio of 100:1 developers to security professionals, so why aren't developers empowered to take action? 
  • If companies want to survive and thrive in this fast-paced digital world, we trust and empower developers to handle security and fix security issues themselves. 
  • How security teams can scale by empowering developers to create secure applications, including the use of modern cloud technologies
