AI in Financial Services: What's Real?

AI to augment the SOC. Agents to augment humans. Frameworks to help govern the use of AI.

These topics are all top-of-mind for financial institutions headed into 2026. But what does AI success look like? Which AI-powered goals are realistic, and which ones might be deployed to impress the Board?

Our expert panelists share their experience w/AI in major financial service institutions and tackle questions on topics including:

How to manage data security in the AI era
AI-powered supply chain risk – how to get a handle on it
How to cut through all the noise and sidestep AI FOMO

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM ET

Zero Trust in the Age of AI and What it Means - How Should Financial Organizations Think About the Risks of AI, and Where Does Zero Trust Fit In?

Businesses stand to benefit from AI in unprecedented ways, but only if IT and security leaders overcome transformation challenges.

This includes implementing a modern zero trust architecture to protect data and users, embracing AI while managing its risks, and handling the technical and financial implications of ever-expanding environments. A risk-based approach to security ensures CIOs and CISOs deliver a secure, phased transformation.
Join this session to:

Understand how zero trust and AI together, unlike firewalls, provide the strongest cyber defense by stopping threat actors from lateral movement within networks
Learn strategies for protecting AI applications developed internally for customers and employees, while preventing data leaks from public AI applications
Discover how AI is being leveraged for better cyber defense, in areas like segmentation, data classification and agentic operations

The goal has been common to the financial industry for several years: What will it take to achieve it? This session will explore advances in biometrics, hard tokens, passkeys and also consider how these advances can improve – or impede – customer UX, and where more friction could be a requirement. Panelists will also discuss the implications of password-free security within financial organizations.

Session highlights:

Implications for the future of identity;
Potential password-less attack;
The role of data analytics and AI in supporting password-less security frameworks;
Impact on insider threat detection and internal system management.

Beyond the Endpoint: Why Network Detection and Response Is Critical in the Financial Industry’s Threat Landscape

Financial institutions are prime targets for advanced cyber attackers, yet the over-reliance on endpoint protection leaves critical blind spots that can jeopardize operational resilience and regulatory compliance.

As the attack surface continues to expand across cloud environments, OT devices, and third-party vendors, attackers have more opportunities to gain the initial access they need to launch attacks. Corelight’s NDR platform provides the essential telemetry and contextual intelligence required to identify and safeguard high-value assets, meet compliance demands, and empower security teams to detect and respond to sophisticated threats effectively in real-time.

The New Economics of Cyber Risk: Quantifying Exposure, Liability, and Resilience

The cyber risk conversation in financial services has shifted from data breach costs to full-spectrum liability.

Today, lawsuits can follow within days of a breach, insurers are tightening terms, and underwriters want proof of governance maturity and supply chain visibility — not just policies on paper.

This session explores how CISOs, legal teams, and insurers are redefining the economics of cyber risk. We’ll examine how financial institutions are quantifying exposures across data breaches, business interruption, privacy practices, and third-party dependencies — and how cyber insurance is evolving to keep pace with new forms of liability, litigation, and regulatory oversight.

We’ll discuss:

What’s measurable and what remains unpredictable in cyber risk quantification
The new wave of “non-breach” privacy and arbitration claims shaping insurance coverage
How underwriters and CISOs are aligning around resilience, governance, and transparency

The Hidden Risk: Securing the 80% of Data Most Organizations Overlook

In today’s financial institutions, cybersecurity strategies often focus on production systems—where customer transactions and core operations live.

But what about the other 80% of enterprise data that resides in non-production environments like development, testing, analytics, and AI/ML? These environments are rich with sensitive data, yet frequently underprotected, creating a massive blind spot for CISOs and cyber leaders.

Join Aaron Jensen, Director of Solutions Engineering at Delphix, as he unveils insights from the 2025 State of Data Compliance and Security Report, which found that 54% of organizations have already experienced data breaches in non-production environments, and 84% allow compliance exceptions that increase risk. With AI accelerating data sprawl and regulatory scrutiny intensifying, the stakes have never been higher.

This session will explore how Delphix helps financial institutions eliminate data risk without slowing innovation—using automated data masking, secure replication, and continuous compliance across hybrid and cloud environments. Learn how to secure the data that fuels development while meeting the demands of regulators, auditors, and your board.

Key Takeaways:

As financial institutions push for faster digital innovation, security teams are often left playing catch-up - or worse, seen as blockers.

But a well-executed DevSecOps strategy can turn security into a business enabler, integrating controls directly into the software lifecycle without stalling delivery. This session focuses on what DevSecOps means for CISOs in financial services: not just shifting left, but embedding governance, risk, and compliance directly into development workflows.

We’ll explore how leading financial firms are implementing security guardrails in CI/CD pipelines, using policy-as-code to enforce controls, and ensuring that software shipped to production meets regulatory and resilience standards.

We’ll also discuss how to drive alignment across AppSec, DevOps, and GRC functions – especially in environments where infrastructure is increasingly ephemeral and APIs serve as critical product infrastructure.

We will cover:

How to establish DevSecOps as a governance model, aligned to compliance and operational resilience.
Real-world practices for embedding security guardrails into CI/CD pipelines.
Strategies to integrate SBOM validation, third-party component monitoring, and change control into Dev workflows.
Cultural and structural changes needed to align AppSec, DevOps, and GRC teams.
