Insider threats represent one of the most challenging security vulnerabilities facing financial institutions, where trusted employees become vectors for organized crime infiltration. Criminal organizations systematically target financial sector insiders through bribery, coercion and social engineering.

The challenge extends beyond malicious actors to encompass systemic governance failures - positions with "high trust and low oversight" where individuals control payments, procurement and financial reporting without adequate checks. Criminal organizations exploit these vulnerabilities with sophisticated intelligence gathering, creating detailed profiles of potential targets including personal details, family circumstances and financial pressures to maximize manipulation effectiveness.

This session, featuring insights from law enforcement specialist, will examine:

• How artificial intelligence is used to identify unusual patterns of behavior and swiftly address insider threats before they escalate;
• Balancing security measures that safeguard private information without compromising worker trust or productivity;
• The importance of developing a strong cybersecurity mindset at all leadership levels to guarantee proactive threat detection, prevention and a safe corporate culture.
