Webinar preview: Facing Threats to Banking and Finance

The finance industry is a bellwether for emerging threats; banks attract every level of adversary—from state-level intelligence agencies to hacktivists—and they invest heavily in their security posture. Not every organization faces the same threat landscape as the finance industry, but sophisticated threat techniques eventually trickle down. In this way, there’s a lot to learn from banks about security operations.

After the global pandemic upended the markets overnight, security and IT teams at nearly every kind of enterprise had to adapt quickly to their newly decentralized networks. How will this new work-from-home world change security and IT operations, and will it shift the threat landscape?

On Wednesday, April 29, a panel of security experts will discuss what the threat landscape looked like for finance in 2019, share the lessons they’ve learned over the past month, and speak to what might be different for banking and finance as more and more people work remotely.

In this live webinar and interactive conversation, panelists from Red Canary and VMware® Carbon Black will address:

• The operational challenges of securing and administering a completely distributed workforce
• Shifts to the threat landscape as adversaries adapt to decentralized networks
• The importance of endpoint and identity-centric security controls
