Much has changed (and much has not) since our last Financial SASIG. The UK has a new government with a significant mandate. Donald Trump, against the odds, was elected for a second presidential term in the United States. Meanwhile, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue to rage and political crises stalk Germany and France. In the business world, emerging technology continues to pose risks as well as present opportunities. Generative AI is firmly established as a business driver but presents its unique challenges. Cybercrime remains a growing problem, with fraud arguably replacing ransomware as its most damaging manifestation.
The requirement for organisations to improve their resilience against external shocks has never been greater. AI is making threats more complex and enabling bad actors to spot vulnerabilities more quickly. Data integrity is even more critical now that it underpins the decisions AI makes, and on which we are increasingly reliant. We understand that resilience is underpinned by preparedness and collaboration, but both of these present their own challenges to many organisations. In all these areas, the financial sector leads others. We are delighted to host our Financial SASIG with Evelyn Partners and to learn from the sector’s experience so that we can manage change while continuing to keep ourselves resilient and our clients secure.
