As Canadian financial institutions accelerate AI adoption, expand digital ecosystems, and face mounting regulatory expectations, security leaders are under pressure to deliver strategies that are not only resilient but adaptive. The 2025 Toronto Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit convenes senior cybersecurity executives, regulators, and risk leaders to examine how the country’s most critical financial organizations are responding to this moment—rethinking governance, investing in autonomy, and preparing for a wave of threats that move faster and cut deeper than ever before.

This year’s summit will spotlight the defining cybersecurity priorities facing the financial sector in 2025. From the operational risks of deploying agentic AI and autonomous threat response tools to the growing sophistication of deepfake-enabled fraud, institutions are grappling with complex new threat models. Sessions will also explore the evolving role of cyber insurance amid a sharp rise in disputed claims, how Canadian regulators and financial boards are aligning on oversight expectations, and how real-time intelligence is transforming fraud prevention. Throughout the program, attendees will gain insight into how industry leaders are not just keeping up—but setting the pace for what effective cybersecurity looks like in today’s high-stakes, rapidly transforming financial sector.
