Business insights
You’re invited to an evening of Chatham House rule discussions, fine dining, and guided wine tasting at HIDE, London; courtesy of Chief Wine Officer & Palo Alto Networks. You’ll hear from Nick Calver, an international banking executive specialising in delivering transformation within FSI from both customer and supplier sides. Together with Jack Hughes, a leader with a 10+ year track record of mitigating large-scale cyber incidents worldwide, they will pull back the curtain on recent global incidents, sharing lessons and pinpointing the security gaps—from supply chain weaknesses to fundamental vulnerabilities—that cause major business disruption in FSI. Meanwhile, certified Master of Wine, Sam Caporn, will introduce you to a range of exquisite fine wines in an unforgettable tasting experience. Can we book you a seat?
Organisations like D Commerce bank are bucking a growing trend; decrypting 100% of web traffic and reducing security alerting by a staggering 50% while most FSI organisations fail to keep up with an ever-evolving threat landscape. But market leaders are leaping ahead using threat intelligence, implementing crucial frameworks and emerging technologies to build lasting resilience. This is how Trading Point Group achieved Zero Trust 2.0 and improved their resolution times from hours to minutes, while GFT used this approach to securely build, launch, and run the newly founded Salt Bank. At this unique event for IT security leaders in FSI, we’ll unpack how you can do the same.
Key discussion points
- How to build resilience and secure budget with a threat-led strategy
- Immediate, intelligence-driven insight into how rapidly-mobilising actors are pivoting across sectors
- Commercial constructs and negotiation tactics to absorb growth and reduce third-party IT spend
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 14 IT security leaders from FSI organisations in Greater London. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director—but spots around the table are filling fast, so secure yours now.
