Unified Security: A New Approach to Framework, Strategy & Architecture to Protect Financial Service Institutions

Financial Service institutions are under attack. The seemingly endless barrage of threats to the sanctity of the corporate databanks comes daily from new and varied sources. The Chief Security Officer or Chief Information Officer is most often reacting to a multitude of operational issues that make tackling the bigger security picture feel out of reach. Yet with the continually evolving dynamics of modern financial transactions, an enterprise-wide security strategy & architecture is precisely what is needed to move beyond the trap of reaction and toward a safer future. This presentation will address challenges and architectural solutions in several areas - enterprise security model & architecture, business process, regulatory requirements and compliance, "evergreen" methodology, risk controls and maturity models.
