When Systems Fail, Trust Is On The Line: Building Cyber Resilience in Financial Services
Join a private virtual roundtable with IT, security, risk and resilience leaders from across financial services to discuss what genuine recovery readiness looks like in practice.
Cyberattacks are no longer just an IT problem. When core banking, trading, payments or claims systems go down, the impact reaches customers, revenue, regulators and boardroom.
77% of financial institutions have experiences a material cyberattack.
87% lost revenue as a result.
93% faced legal or regulatory consequences.
Yet only 5% demonstrate the mature, integrated capabilities or truly risk-ready organizations.
The question has changed.
It's no longer just: "Can you prevent an attack?"
It's "Can your prove you can recover from one?"
With DORA in force, NYDFS Part 500 amendments live, and Sheltered Harbor expectations rising, financial institutions are under increasing pressure to demonstrate operational resilience - not simply describe it.
Join a private virtual roundtable with IT, security, risk and resilience leaders from across financial services to discuss what genuine recovery readiness looks like in practice.
Recovery Readiness Is the New Test of Resilience
Prevention remains essential. But no security strategy can guarantee that critical systems will never be compromised.
The institutions best prepared for disruption are building resilience around what happens after prevention fails:
- Identifying the systems and services the business cannot operate without.
- Defining recovery tolerances that align technology with business requirements.
- Proving that critical systems can be recovered - not just backed up.
- Validating that recovered data and applications are clean and trustworthy.
- Bringing IT, security, risk and business teams together before an incident occurs.
- Protecting the recovery foundation itself from compromise.
This roundtable will move beyond theoretical resilience frameworks to examine how financial institutions are operationalizing recovery readiness at scale.
What We'll Discuss:
1. Defining Your Minimum Viable Bank
Which systems are truly business-critical? Explore how institutions are identifying, protecting, prioritizing and rehearsing recovery of the systems that keep the business running and customers served.
2. Recovery as a Regulatory Imperative
Can you demonstrate recovery within tolerance?
Discuss how financial services leaders are translating regulatory expectations into measurable recovery capabilities - and how they are preparing to withstand supervisory examination.
3. Restoring Trust, Not Just Data
A successful restore isn't necessarily a clean recovery.
Examine what it takes to validate data integrity, application integrity, and operational trust before bringing systems back online.
4. Closing the IT-Security Divide
Recovery cannot be an IT-only exercise.
Explore how IT, security, risk and resilience teams can operate as one before, during, and after an incident - with clear ownership, workflows and decision-making.
5. From Backup to Last Line of Defense
What happens when the recovery infrastructure is compromised too?
Discuss how organizations are using immutability, isolation, cyber vaulting and clean-room recovery workflows to create a recovery foundation that can withstand even sophisticated attacks.
Join the Conversation
When systems fail, trust is on the line.
The institutions that recover with confidence will be the ones that have prepared to do so before the incident begins.
Join fellow financial services leaders for a focused, peer-level conversation on building cyber resilience that stands up to attacks, operational disruption and regulatory scrutiny.
