Breakfast Briefing Hosted By:
In this presentation Thomas Murray experts will guide you through what can happen when attackers target a bank, and why they might not always be successful. They will provide insights from two real-world incidents that impacted payment systems, anti-money laundering controls and internal systems, including a new and novel attack at the time.
Then will follow a discussion on the regulatory, financial, and cyber security challenges you might face in this sort of incident and poll you, the audience, to find out how you would respond under these pressures and what keeps you up at night when thinking about this kind of risk. And finally an explanation of how you can take steps to mitigate the impact of this type of incident and how embedding trusted advisory and experts in your response planning can reduce the impact and help stop the bad guys.
