Financial Services and Regulatory Focus on Cybersecurity

Today, Financial Services firms have a unique vantage point into the challenges of managing business information. Within a jittery global financial climate, firms must deal with information volume that continues to grow at an unstoppable rate, and carried via an exploding number of tools that advisors are using to collaborate and communicate with clients. And firms must extend the life of current technology systems given pressure to remove costs, while also protecting sensitive information assets against an unprecedented level of cybersecurity threats. Unfortunately, for many firms, managing the security of information has existed as a specialized domain, and consequently, led to siloed investments to protect specific processes or systems – not necessarily to protect information that might carry the highest value or risk as it flows through the firm. As a result, few organizations feel well prepared to address the consequences of data breach.
