What are the specific characteristics of the newest, most potent cyber threats to vital corporate functions? What are the latest cyber attack methodologies and what vulnerabilities do they exploit?   What will the next generation of threats look like and how should both large and small firms secure their systems and information? How can financial institutions collaborate to guard against future cyberattacks? What impact will new legislation have on private-sector information security policies?

The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association is bringing together leading industry professionals, law enforcement officials, federal regulators, and other experts to answer these questions and address other crucial cybersecurity issues. During the half-day Cybersecurity Symposium, panels will provide unparalleled insight into the challenges posed by evolving cyber threat landscape and how firms can protect their systems and data.

The objective of the symposium is simple: To take these discussions far beyond the all-to-common superficial overviews.   The symposium will provide a truly actionable level of detailed information  for representatives from the Broker/Dealer, Banking, Technology, Operations, Exchange, Industry Utilities, Information Security and Legal and Regulatory communities.
