The Importance of Cybersecurity Management and Cyber Resilience in Financial Services

In this whitepaper, the importance of cybersecurity management and cyber resilience in financial services is outlined.

During the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, where firms were confronted with radically changed circumstances, valuable corporate views and practices were gathered. These exceptional times affected corporate work arrangements and communication due to the necessity of remote work and proved to be an immediate test for the readiness and agility of cybersecurity strategies of firms, and of financial companies in particular. Therefore, it was important to obtain the views of decisive company insiders, financial industry CISOs, on how they navigated this potential cybersecurity challenge.

This whitepaper offers some of the major insights from this work and can provide lessons learnt that can inform future cybersecurity strategies and help them in their resilience and readiness for eventual future events of a disruptive nature.
