Think Tank 1: Cybersecurity, Operational Resilience & Digital Security: How Banks Can Fight Back

With rising AI-enabled cyber threats such as deepfakes, synthetic identity fraud and real-time cyberattacks posing severe operational and reputational risks, banks must strategically rethink their cybersecurity and operational resilience frameworks. This Think Tank will convene senior operational, risk, technology and compliance leaders to explore strategies that strengthen cybersecurity, reinforce digital trust and ensure robust operational and financial resilience.

Key discussion points:

    1.Strategic Cyber Risk & Digital Trust

  • What are the strategic implications of cybersecurity threats on client trust and banking reputation?
  • How can banks proactively manage digital identity protection, mitigate reputational risk and enhance digital trust?
  • What are the emerging expectations of investors and clients regarding cybersecurity governance?
  • How can banks ensure that digital trust and data privacy are not just security imperatives, but also brand and reputational differentiators for customers and stakeholders?
  • 2.Operational Resilience & Liquidity Protection

  • What is the strategic impact of major cyber incidents on liquidity, treasury operations and transaction platforms?
  • How should scenario planning and operational stress-testing evolve to reflect cyber-triggered shocks?
  • How can banks protect large-volume transaction flows and trade platforms from cyberattacks and deepfake-enabled fraud, particularly in cash management and treasury operations?
  • 3.Compliance, Cost-Efficiency & Governance

  • How can banks align cybersecurity compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks and supervisory expectations?
  • How should leaders balance rising cybersecurity investment needs with efficiency and profitability mandates?
  • What lessons from recent bank failures and cyber incidents can help shape governance models going forward?
