Multi-Signal Managed Detection and Response For Financial Services Companies

Whether your organization is a small credit union, a bank or a large financial services firm with multiple facilities, threat actors are going to capitalize on vulnerable systems and fallible human nature. Ultimately, the difference between business protection and business disruption will come down to the speed at which you can identify and contain a cyber attack.

Secure your financial services organization with Managed Detection and Response services that scale

Financial service firms are targeted by cybercriminals because of the opportunity for monetary gain and the chance to disrupt their business operations. A cyberattack can compromise systems that drive operations and expose clients’ personal financial data. This can result in millions of dollars in fines and lost revenue, an incalculable amount of damage to a financial firm’s reputation and worse, it can potentially destabilize the economy. While most financial services organizations recognize this and have strong preventative security controls in place, clever social engineering attacks resulting in one wrong click by an employee can open the door to your company’s network.

To protect your business, you need a robust cybersecurity plan and the ability to proactively detect, disrupt and remediate cyber threats.

How to Start Preparing for the SEC’s New Cyber Risk Management Rules

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed new rules called the Cybersecurity Risk Management for investment companies, Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs), and Business Development companies. These proposed SEC cybersecurity rules will require all RIAs and investment companies to adopt policies and procedures to better address their cyber risks, enable 24/7 threat detection and response capabilities, and disclose significant cybersecurity incidents in a timely manner.

In this fireside conversation, Tia Hopkins, Chief Cyber Resilience Officer & Field CTO at eSentire, and Eldon Sprickerhoff, Founder & Advisor at eSentire, discuss how you can prepare for the upcoming SEC cybersecurity rules, including:

  • Risk Assessment and Prioritization:
    How to effectively assess, categorize, and prioritize cybersecurity risks specific to your firm.
  • Threat and Vulnerability Management:
    Tools and techniques that help you detect, mitigate, and remediate modern threats and vulnerabilities.
  • Cybersecurity Incident Response and Recovery:
    How you can demonstrate IR Readiness and the measures you must have in place to continue operations, protect sensitive data, and meet reporting obligations to the SEC.
  • Compliance and Reporting:
    Understanding the reporting and disclosure obligations imposed by the SEC cybersecurity rules and how to integrate these requirements into your incident response policies.
