Sibos brings financial leaders together to network, collaborate and find solutions to industry challenges. You will hear from leading experts in security and cyber issues and leave with key takeaways to help take your defences to the next level.
As attacks on core payment systems have become increasingly sophisticated, stealthy and sustained, financial industry players need to cultivate stronger defences than ever before. The threat of attack represents a clear and present danger to our financial eco-system - and needs to be taken seriously.
The message is simple: don’t be the weakest link and allow the criminals into your organisation.
At Sibos, we will be tackling the cybersecurity issue head on, with a dedicated stream of sessions. The big issue debate will address some difficult questions - such as is a ‘cyber 9/11’ inevitable? - and if so, what we can do to prevent it as a community? Other sessions include how smaller organisations can enhance cyber resilience, and the risk of cyber attacks in the securities market.

Cyberattacks in the securities market? Hold on, I thought it was just a payments problem … We know that the cyber criminals are hungry, smart and coordinated. We have seen the level of sophistication and the impact of cyberattacks rising, and the risk is that the securities market may be next. It’s high concentration of high value assets, its complexity with many entry points and its reliance on centralised critical functions make the custody and securities value chain particularly susceptible to disruption / ransom, asset theft, information theft and/or market manipulation. This session highlights the major findings from the ISSA Cyber Working Group which identified the major cyber security risk for the securities market. |

Can we ever counter the weakest link in cybersecurity – the people? Arguably the biggest cyber-security risk simply ‘people’. From insider threats to acute skills shortage, poor diversity, patchy representation at Board-level and all the while the internal staff are still clicking on the damn phishing link. Are the solutions to cyber-security closer to home, and in our own hands? Is it all just over-blown hype that can be managed just like any other risk with a bit of education and discipline, or will people always be the biggest intangible and the cause of the biggest headaches? |
