How Financial Services Can Prepare for and Mitigate “Phygital” Attacks Against Critical Infrastructure

Finance, Investment, and Insurance institutions are easy targets of backlash due to volatile social, political, and economic events.  Growing unease due to actual or potential economic downturns - increases in mortgage foreclosures, pending recessions, or declining investments - can increase security threats and attacks.  

More than in any other industry, ensuring stability in operations and infrastructure is of utmost importance in banking and financial services.  Disruptions of mere seconds can result in millions of dollars in loss.  CSOs and CISOs have become experts in deploying layered, yet distinct, security measures to mitigate risks against physical and cyber-attacks.    

Yet, emerging “phygital” threats – exploiting a physical vulnerability to launch a cyber-attack – will require security leaders to rethink their approaches.

• Insider Threats - What level of knowledge do current and previous employees have about physical and cyber security measures?
• Off-site Vulnerabilities – How resilient are the colocation sites?
• Escalation Events – When to take steps to protect personnel from societal stressors?

Join our panel of security experts as they talk about current challenges and their approaches to security preparedness against emerging threats while forecasting new ones on the horizon.
