While external cyberattacks dominate headlines, insider threats - whether malicious employees, organized crime rings or negligent workers - represent a more insidious and costly challenge for financial institutions. These threats operate at lower volumes over longer periods, making them harder to detect without proper controls, yet they account for a significant portion of security incidents.

Financial organizations must address three distinct insider threat profiles: malicious insiders with deliberate intent, compromised employees co-opted by external actors, and distracted or overwhelmed staff who inadvertently create vulnerabilities.

In this session, Chris Young, cybersecurity enterprise account executive at OpenText, will share insights on:

• How to create resilient backup strategies using immutable, versioned and air-gapped architectures for recovery;
• Reducing SOC alert fatigue through self-tuning anomaly detection versus threshold-based rules;
• Protecting sensitive data without breaking data types or primary key relationships.
