Surfing the Unpredictable: Inside the Cyber-mind of Investment

The effect of the pandemic, the stampede to remote working, and increased digital connectivity across the value-chain allows risks and vulnerabilities to go unmanaged and undetected. This leaves cyber criminals free to exploit potential threat opportunities and human vulnerabilities in management and operational systems.

The financial impact of these threats increases by an order of magnitude when those systems are Asset Wealth Management systems.

To properly combat these attacks requires a deeper understanding of the human psychologies that lie behind cyber security breaches and a greater strategic appreciation of the cyber solutions that might offset them.

The Investment Association and the Engine invites you to our second TechTalk of 2021 as we explore cyber security within investment management.

In the TechTalk we’ll be exploring a number of topic areas:

• Organised Crime, Rogue nations, corrupt competitors and insider threat - the increasing complexity of the attack surface.
• The issue of access vulnerabilities – and how to secure best practice one person at a time.
• The human insights that sit behind the malevolent agents, their tools, strategies and approaches.
• Protecting Assets: Client Portfolios, fund assets, shareholder registers

This is a unique opportunity to learn from the experts in cyber psychology and hacking about human fallibilities, failings and grievances that play into the hands of threat actors and the impact this can have on Asset Management companies.

This event is for both technical and non-technical people alike.
