SUMMARY:Cybersecurity in the financial services industry: Debunking quick fixes and investing in what really works
DESCRIPTION:According to recent studies\, financial services organizations face a disproportionate number of cyberattacks compared to other sectors. Why? The answer is clear: They hold highly sensitive data and manage significant financial transactions\, making them attractive targets for malicious actors seeking financial gain or access to valuable information. In a threatening environment that evolves at an unprecedented pace\, many organizations face mounting pressure to continually adapt their cybersecurity strategies. While the allure of the “next big thing” in cybersecurity protection may be tempting\, true resilience lies in the steady\, strategic development of mature cybersecurity controls. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will unravel the myths of the “quick fix” and explore proven strategies for building and sustaining a mature cybersecurity program tailored to the unique needs of your financial services organization. Our cybersecurity specialists will share insights into prevalent threat trends\, the dangers of program churn and the essential controls that form the backbone of effective risk management. Participants will learn how to optimize and scale their existing cybersecurity investments\, rather than disrupt them\, for greater resilience and adaptability. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this CPE-eligible webinar on Thursday\, Oct. 23 from 1-2 p.m. ET. Questions will be encouraged and answered\, time permitting. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\n\nDiscuss the current cybersecurity threat trends and how they are impacting financial services organizations\n\n\n\nIdentify the crucial foundational components of an effective cybersecurity program\n\n\n\nRecognize the risks and hidden costs of frequently switching cybersecurity programs versus the benefits of building on a core\, mature framework\n\n\n\nUnderstand how stability in your cybersecurity approach fosters deeper business alignment and stronger protections\n\n\n\n\nTarget audience\n\n\n\nCROs\, CTOs\, CIOs\, CISOs\, CFOs\, controllers\, IT directors\, claims and underwriting professionals\, internal audit professionals and those involved in managing a cybersecurity program at a financial services organization   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about CPE eligibility   \n\n\n\nThere are no prerequisites for this webinar\, and advance preparation is not required.

SUMMARY:The Possibly Impossible System Objectives
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nWhat if your systems team could align every ticket\, workflow\, and project with the strategic priorities your board cares about most? \n\n\n\nIn this CPE-eligible session\, we’ll introduce a new framework: the possibly impossible system objectives (PIPSOs)\, which include eight ambitious targets such as perpetual close\, unit economics\, and zero maintenance needs. Based on analysis of more than 100\,000 completed work items\, these objectives reveal the real why behind the most valuable systems initiatives. \n\n\n\nWhile no company might ever fully achieve them\, every step toward a PIPSO creates measurable\, strategic\, economic value – from faster internal audits to sharper board reporting to more confident investment decisions. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nReframe your systems backlog as a strategic asset\n\n\n\nAlign operations with executive-level goals\n\n\n\nSpeak the language of value\, not just velocity\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to learn how the possibly impossible can help your team drive real transformation one aligned initiative at a time. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, you should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDefine the concept of PIPSOs and explain their role in aligning systems work with strategic business outcomes\n\n\n\nIdentify and describe the eight core PIPSOs\, including the operational focus and potential economic value of each\n\n\n\nAnalyze how systems teams can use PIPSOs to reframe tactical tasks as contributions to executive-level goals\, such as audit readiness\, real-time reporting\, and unit economics\n\n\n\nEvaluate common barriers to achieving systems objectives and propose incremental strategies to support measurable progress toward aspirational outcomes\n\n\n\nDemonstrate how to communicate the strategic value of systems initiatives using the PIPSO framework to gain stakeholder buy-in and prioritize work\n\n\n\n\nContinuing profession education\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nProgram level: Basic \n\n\n\nAdvance preparation: None \n\n\n\nDelivery method: Webinar (group internet based) \n\n\n\nField of study: Information technology \n\n\n\nThis session is recommended for 1.0 hour of CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: All participants MUST be logged into the webinar INDIVIDUALLY to receive CPE credit.
