| 9:00 am | WELCOME & OPENING REMARKS Emcee: Allan Holmes, Technology Regulations Team Leader, Bloomberg Government |
| 9:05 am | WHEN STATE-BASED, STATE-SPONSORED ACTORS TARGET FINANCIAL SERVICES INSTITUTIONS We’ll examine the recent alleged Iran-based attacks on US banks and look at state-based and state-sponsored hackers from Russia and China. Is there any way to stop the recent spate of DDoS attacks? How are lenders handling sharing of information with each other, national intelligence agencies, law enforcement, customers and other security experts? As banking goes mobile, what additional security threats and protection are banks putting in place? How are banks preparing for the worst? What back-up plans make sense and are affordable? VIDEO Speakers: Dimitri Alperovitch, Co-Founder and CTO, CrowdStrike Inc. Carl W. Herberger, Vice President, Security Solutions, Americas, Radware John M. (Mike) McConnell, Vice Chairman, Booz | Allen | Hamilton; Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Andy Ozment, Senior Director for Cybersecurity, National Security Staff, The White House Interviewed by: Michael Riley, Reporter, Bloomberg News |
| 9:45 am | CYBERSECURITY LAWS AND LEGISLATION Partisan gridlock in Congress and intense industry lobbying conspired to kill the cybersecurity legislation, despite persistent warnings over the vulnerability of U.S. government and private sector computer networks against major attacks. We’ll discuss options available to the administration, including the likelihood of an executive order. We’ll look at the kind of smart cybersecurity regulation needed to protect the industry. Where do current proposed regulations stand and what can be done to move them forward? Can the industry create standards of its own? Can self-regulation be effective? VIDEO Speakers: Stewart A. Baker, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLP Doug Johnson, Vice President and Senior Advisor, Risk Management Policy, American Bankers Association (ABA) Interviewed by: Eric Engleman, Technology Reporter, Bloomberg News |
| 10:25 am | MOVING CYBERSECURITY FROM COST TO ASSET Every Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has to justify a budget. We’ll discuss how to frame security in terms of building a brand or insuring against massive negative consequences as opposed to being seen as a cost center. How do organizations value the risk component and the degree to invest in IT security? How can cybersecurity be seen as a necessity not a luxury? Can CISOs win internal political battles? With CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs constantly at odds when it comes to data/network security, what’s the best way to unify goals to achieve the best type of cybersecurity for the enterprise and help the enterprise meet its business objectives? Should CIOs, CTOs, CROs, CISOs target business lines as well? VIDEO Speakers: George N. Allport, Vice President and Worldwide Financial Fidelity Product Manager, Chubb & Son Joe Bernik, Managing Director, Head Technology Risk Management, BNY Mellon Thomas J. Sanzone, Senior Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton Interviewed by: Allan Holmes, Technology Regulations Team Leader, Bloomberg Government |
| 11:05 am | BYOD: LEVERAGING THE MOBILE ENTERPRISE … SECURELY How are financial services companies merging cloud security for business enterprise with mobile device applications and mobile security? What are the security implications of “bring your own device” or BYOD? How are organizations securing these devices? We’ll look at the challenges facing enterprise mobility, including the need to support an ever increasing mobile workforce, manage competing operating systems, disparate mobile applications and provide varying degrees of corporate access. We’ll also examine the challenges that shadow banking presents VIDEO Speakers: Edward G. Amoroso, Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer, AT&T Services, Inc.
