Rapid Recovery and Resilience: Are You Prepared?
5:30pm-8:00pm ET | New York, NY
Event Overview
The financial sector is under siege from ransomware extortion, AI-driven fraud, and third-party vulnerabilities – threats that directly impact operational stability, regulatory compliance, and market confidence. As an executive, you’re not just managing threats, but ensuring the resilience of financial markets, protecting customer trust and navigating growing regulatory scrutiny.
With NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, NAIC mandates and changing SEC cybersecurity regulations, resilience is no longer just a security issue, it’s a boardroom priority. Regulators, shareholder and customers now expect financial institutions to withstand attacks and recover without disruption.
This closed-door, invitation-only roundtable brings together leading CISOs, CIOs, and risk executives to exchange ways to ensure cyber resilience, accelerate recovery, and align security investments with regulatory mandates and business objectives.
KEY DISCUSSION AREAS
- How leading financial organizations can build cyber recovery frameworks that ensure operational continuity
- Ways to navigate NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, NAIC, SEC cybersecurity requirements and ensure audit readiness
- Techniques to mitigate disruptions in real-time payments, trading platforms, and customer operations
- Move beyond detection to rapid containment and enterprise-wide recovery
- Leverage AI-powered threat mitigation and Zero Trust architectures to reduce dwell time and prevent lateral movement
- Strengthen oversight of critical vendors, FinTech partners, and cloud dependencies
