Over four years since the now-infamous Bangladesh Bank cyber heist, where hackers attempted to transfer close to $1 billion from the NY FED account belonging to Bangladesh Bank before walking away with over $60 million, and cyber threats against the financial sector have only grown in volume and sophistication worldwide. With the forcedly hurried shift towards remote working due to COVID-19, hackers are enjoying a much larger attack surface against financial service institutions with alarming success rates. How can security professionals better prepare against cyber heists?
Leading technical and legal experts will lead a webcast anchored in real-world cases, covering the most successful attacks, why they worked, and immediate steps security teams must consider to keep pace with cybercriminals.
