You’re invited to a very special evening of business connection, fine wines, and Michelin-starred cuisine; courtesy of Chief Wine Officer, Palo Alto Networks & IBM. In palatial surroundings, you’ll meet a select group of IT and line of business experts; including Red Hat Payment’s Industry Lead, Ramon Villarreal. Together, you’ll connect over shared challenges and strategies, while hearing cutting-edge insight direct from IBM and Palo Alto Networks. We’ll dig into the rapid acceleration of both AI-powered threats, and lightning-fast recovery times. You’ll come away with actionable pathways for bolstering operations, customer safety, and business reputation for your financial institution. Throughout the evening’s conversations, you’ll also enjoy a guided wine tasting experience from Jane Rakison; BBC1’s celebrated wine expert of Saturday Kitchen Live. Can we book you a seat?
When it comes to BFSI, cybersecurity must be a concern for every leader. Yet according to IBM research, only 51% of organisations believe they have an effective security operating model. Do you stand among them? As the landscape evolves to encapsulate everything from deep fakes to automated exploits, market leaders are consolidating their cyber tooling to better protect and react. With this approach, many are saving 30% on cybersecurity TCO and vastly improving digital time-to-market. AI-powered digital experience management is also allowing organisations to boost productivity thanks to automated resolutions and application optimisation, improving security posture across hybrid environments. At this event, you’ll learn everything you need to navigate complex financial cybersecurity, improve threat response time and drive impactful transformation in your business.
Key discussion points
- The most important cybersecurity considerations for BFSI organisations over the next 12 months
- Overcoming operational complexity to drive transformation while maintaining compliance
- New strategies for utilising AI and future-proofing systems for quantum computing
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 12 IT and line of business leaders from BFSI organisations in Greater London. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director—but seats are filling fast, so secure yours now.
