Cyber Resilience in Banking: Rethinking Identity, Data Flow, and Zero Trust

1:00pm - 2:00pm ET | New York, NY

Event Overview

As financial institutions embrace digital transformation, a top priority is to ensure seamless yet secure customer onboarding, identity verification, and fraud prevention. Banks face a complex challenge: balancing security, regulatory compliance, and user experience while managing massive data flows across disparate systems. With increasing compliance mandates—such as constant screening against OFAC lists and cross-referencing customer data stored in different silos—how can banks eliminate vulnerabilities without introducing friction?

This roundtable, led by Boris Goranov, CEO at Ubiqu, and Demetra Koelling, General Counsel at ON2IT Cybersecurity, will explore how banks can build anti-fragile cybersecurity platforms that not only withstand cyber threats but grow stronger over time. By leveraging Zero Trust principles—including strict identity verification, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring—financial institutions can streamline onboarding, reduce security risks, and enhance compliance while ensuring a seamless digital banking experience.

This exclusive discussion provides banking and cybersecurity leaders with real-world insights into how Zero Trust and advanced identity verification can eliminate security gaps, enhance operational resilience, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Key Takeaways and What to Expect:

  • Zero Trust Strategy Prevents Successful Data Fraud – Operationalizing Zero Trust principles strengthens security and ensures your critical assets stay safe
  • Securing Digital Onboarding and Identity Verification – How banks can implement high-assurance identity checks to enhance security without adding friction
  • Balancing Security and User Experience – How banks can reduce operational friction in digital transactions
