In today’s interdependent financial industry, financial institutions increasingly depend on third-party vendors for essential operations and services. But with mutual reliance there are shared consequences, especially regarding cyberattacks. In fact, risk is accelerating across third-party providers where a single cyber incident can impact thousands of institutions.
This session explores the real and growing threat of cyberattacks targeting financial institutions and their external partners. Attendees will learn how to assess vendor vulnerabilities, strengthen cybersecurity protections within contracts and agreements, and effectively collaborate with examiners. This presentation will also highlight key (and free) regulatory resources available to support financial institutions’ cybersecurity strategies.
