Event Synopsis:
The emergent use of the internet, ATMs, credit cards and online banking has made cyber security especially challenging for banks and other financial institutions because they have been vulnerable targets for cybercrimes. While the government has taken steps to counter cyber-attacks with the introduction of certain bills such as the Cybersecurity and American Cyber Competitiveness Act, Cybersecurity and Internet Freedom Act and Cyber Security Enhancement Act, cyber security remains a critical issue for the financial industry.
Since companies are required to work closely with the governing bodies on cyber security, financial institutions and their chief security officers and business leadership team must create and implement cyber security best practices by deploying highly developed technologies to avoid potential pitfalls. A panel of key regulators and thought experts is being assembled by the Knowledge Group to help security and financial executives and management teams learn the latest best practices & policies for cyber security.
