FS UK Information Security Network

The UK Financial Services Information Security Network will bring together information security leaders from retail banks, investment banks, exchanges, asset managers, hedge funds and payment service providers to network, share best practice and discuss the current and future pressures facing the industry as a whole in a private and discreet environment conducted under the Chatham House Rule.

The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, combined with a growing network of connected devices, is making it more difficult for organisations to maintain security while meeting business needs. The role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is becoming more challenging, especially with tighter regulations like GDPR. CISOs must rethink data governance and reporting to stay competitive and avoid penalties, all while protecting the company’s brand.

Despite advances in technology, humans remain the weakest link in cybersecurity. CISOs face the challenge of creating a security-conscious, collaborative workforce to protect against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and develop proactive incident response plans. Cybersecurity should be seen as a business issue, not just an IT problem. To effectively safeguard the organisation, security must be integrated at all levels, from top management to operational teams, aligning with broader strategic goals.
