Hedgeweek cybersecurity event: Adopting best practices

Related Topics

With cyber risks increasing year-on-year, and regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) taking an increasingly prominent role in assessing the preparedness of broker-dealers and registered investment advisors, establishing cybersecurity best practices is not only useful; it’s a necessity. 

The Hedgeweek Cybersecurity Forum, sponsored by Intralinks®, will present some of the key considerations for Managers to not only prevent external cyber attacks, but mitigate internal security breaches. A panel of leading experts,that will include both Manager and Investor perspectives, will share their insights on how to establish a robust cybersecurity programme. 

Discussion points will cover data management and information rights management, vendor assessment, establishing written policies, social engineering, and how best to balance technology spend against perceived threat levels – a key concern for COOs at smaller and mid-sized funds. 

Every week, Managers read about the latest cyber threats. And whilst they need to be taken seriously, the Hedgeweek Cybersecurity Forum will attempt to show that it is not all doom and gloom. By better understanding their threat matrix, Managers can take practical steps to adopt best practices and create solutions to address the most likely attack scenario. 

An informal Q&A session at the end of the panel, which will be moderated by James Williams, Managing Editor of Hedgeweek, will give attendees a chance to pick the panel’s brains on issues raised during proceedings. 

Please join us to find out how to raise the drawbridge and keep the integrity of the network as secure as possible. After all, Managers’ reputations now depend on it.
