As organisations contemplate, develop, and mature their Cyber Security Operations, smart and empowered leaders recognize the synergies with Fraud Operations. Fusing Fraud Operations and Cyber Defense capabilities within large financial institutions is no longer is a ?novel idea,? it is a necessary step mature organisations are taking to improve detection and response times to account take-overs, business email compromise, and other fraudulent activities that are inflicting real costs (time and money) on organizations of all sizes.

In this session, Oge Udensi, Principal for Cyber Security at UK Finance, sits down with a panel of experts to to discuss how fusing traditional Cyber Defense activities like Cyber Threat Intelligence and Advanced Analytics with existing Fraud Operations functions like Monitoring Ops and Coordinated Response delivers real results in mitigating cyber-crime and online fraud.

Operational disruptions and the unavailability of important business services are inevitable and have the potential to cause wide-reaching harm to consumers, threaten the viability of firms, and cause instability in the financial system. With the release of regulatory policy statements at the end of Q1 putting protecting consumers at the forefront of the operational resilience regime and introducing a number of new and challenging industry concepts, and six months to go to the first major milestone in the implementation of these statements, this session will explore the latest regulatory thinking as to what supervision will look post implementation in March 2022.

Becoming a ?data driven? organisation remains a top strategic goal for Financial Service companies. Firms need to develop deeper hyper-personalised customer experiences, reduce operational costs through data-driven optimisation, and provide the ability for employees to access trusted data through the best possible analytics and business intelligence tools.

In this session, in collaboration with Microsoft we will explore the challenges brought on by a lack of data standards across a complex and constantly changing technology landscape and show how organisations can unify their data governance solutions across their on premise, multi cloud and software-as-a-service solutions to allow for a truly ?data driven? organisation.
