Industry Threat Review
INFORMATIVE. INTERACTIVE. INVALUABLE.

Zoom | Friday, April 16, 2021 | 11:00AM-12:00PM ET

Join John Checco, Proofpoint Resident CISO, Financial Services, special guest Daniel Blackford, Proofpoint Threat Research Data Analyst, and your fellow CISOs for an informative and interactive conversation around this year’s biggest and boldest threats within Financial Services and Insurance.

The cyber threat landscape is constantly changing. To help financial services and insurance firms better understand evolving threats, Proofpoint researched the sector's evolving compliance, technology, and macro impacts. We’ve analyzed nearly a year's worth of cyberattacks against banks, capital markets, insurance, and the financial ecosystem market. As we examine hundreds of millions of malicious emails, one trend stood out: today's attacks target people, not just infrastructure.

This digital forum will bring together Financial Services and Insurance CISOs to connect and discuss the most critical issues impacting CISOs today. We’ll share:

  • A view into the current threat landscape for Financial Services and Insurance
  • Security considerations and transformations for 2021
  • The unique risks of the FinServ Supply Chain
