ISMG’s Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit Propels Defense Strengthening in the Cyber Risk Era

Thought Leaders to Shed Light on Critical Infrastructure, Incident Response, Zero Trust and More

Princeton, NJ – October 3, 2023 – Information Security Media Group (ISMG) is back with its annual Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit in New York, a pivotal event that promises to be a cornerstone in strengthening the industry’s cybersecurity defenses. Scheduled to take place on October 17, the summit will unite industry thought leaders and experts to address pressing cybersecurity challenges and explore groundbreaking solutions.

The financial services sector faces a critical juncture, grappling with a complex and evolving cybersecurity environment. Insider breaches and accidental data disclosures are persistently challenging the security measures of financial institutions. To address these pressing concerns, Matanda Doss, executive director of cybersecurity and technology controls at JPMorgan Chase, and Susan Koski, CISO of PNC Bank, will deliver a keynote on how to safeguard financial services in the cyber risk era.

“I’m excited for our Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit. It promises to be our largest U.S. event of the year, and it also happens to mark the 10th anniversary of ISMG’s Summits series. We have excellent speakers and topics lined up, and I’m eager to hear what’s on the minds of our engaged attendees,” said Tom Field, SVP of editorial, ISMG.

One of the summit’s most anticipated segments is the interactive “Solution Room” exercise, providing attendees with a unique opportunity to collaborate and craft incident response strategies in the scenario of a global ransomware attack. CISOs and cybersecurity leaders will put their expertise to the test, showcasing their ability to develop effective responses under high-pressure conditions. This hands-on experience will underscore the paramount importance of preparedness and collaborative decision-making in mitigating cyberthreats.

Participants will gain valuable insights from an interactive session led by Aravind Swaminathan, a top U.S. personal liability lawyer and global co-chair of cybersecurity and data privacy at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. This session will analyze the Joe Sullivan Uber case and engage in a mock exercise exploring actions CISOs can take in challenging situations.

“As the financial services sector faces a critical juncture in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, ISMG’s Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit 2023 promises to be a cornerstone event,” said Jennifer Eisenhofer, VP of events, ISMG. “With a decade of summit excellence and a lineup of distinguished speakers, we’re delighted to present our full-day agenda showcasing the top thought leaders in the financial security space.”

As technology continues to reshape the financial services sector, a dedicated section of the summit will delve into the technical facets of AI implementation. Attendees will gain essential knowledge on how to safely integrate AI, while considering budget constraints within the supply chain.

The Financial Services Cybersecurity Summit 2023 will equip attendees with actionable strategies to safeguard their institutions against the ever-evolving threat landscape. With a lineup of distinguished speakers, interactive sessions, and insightful keynotes, the summit will be an exceptional opportunity for learning, networking, and growth.
