CISO Office Hour: Securing Financial Futures With Identity-Centric Security

Financial organisations are challenged with securing their digital assets and data from external threats such as brand and executive impersonation, account takeovers, and data leakage (to name a few) — which can lead to a diminished reputation and compromised trust with customers. In this modern era where financial institutions are prime targets for sophisticated cyber threats, the traditional network perimeter defence is no longer sufficient.

This episode in our renowned cybersecurity thought leadership series hosted by Jason Steer, CISO at Recorded Future, joined by Ben Hanson, Senior Security Strategist & Advisor at Microsoft, shares insight into why adopting an intelligence-driven approach to identity fraud prevention can enable financial institutions to proactively reduce risk for their business and customers.

You'll walk away from this discussion with a strong understanding of:

  • Why identity-centric security is the new modern perimeter
  • How the convergence of identity intelligence and threat intelligence is reshaping security strategies
  • Why securing user identities is paramount, especially in the context of remote access to corporate information and nation-state actors targeting financial institutions
  • How integrating compliance mandates into security frameworks not only fortifies defences, but also enhances product evolution
