Cyberwars & Financial Fortresses
Course
Sam Goddard and William Dixon explore how financial institutions can build cyber resilience through strategic threat intelligence and by elevating cybersecurity leadership from operational to strategic capability.
Financial services face unprecedented cyberthreats amplified by geopolitical tensions and economic pressures. The CrowdStrike incident demonstrated how operational accidents can cascade into systemic risks affecting critical infrastructure globally.
True cyber resilience emerges from understanding business-critical services rather than merely technical vulnerabilities. Organizations must move beyond compliance toward strategic threat intelligence that connects geopolitical shifts to operational risk. Success requires building cyber leaders as business enablers who can translate complex threat landscapes into board-level decision-making.
The expert panel will explore:
- Operationalizing threat intelligence to drive meaningful security decisions and investments;
- Building bottom-up resilience through critical business service identification and third-party risk mapping;
- Elevating cybersecurity leadership from operational function to strategic business capability.
