Defense in Depth – Financial Services Regulatory Pressures
April 24, 2025Join Forvis Mazars for an informative webinar as we delve into cybersecurity defense in depth—a critical strategy for protecting sensitive information and systems from increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats. This approach involves implementing multiple layers of security controls and measures, each designed to address different aspects of potential vulnerabilities. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve emphasize cybersecurity to help ensure financial system stability. They mandate banks establish strong cybersecurity frameworks, conduct risk assessments, and have incident response plans. Continuous monitoring, threat intelligence sharing, and employee training are also crucial to protecting sensitive data and preventing disruptions caused by cyberattacks.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the importance of implementing multiple layers of security controls to protect sensitive information and systems from cyberthreats and how additional layers provide continued protection even if one layer is compromised.
- Recognize the various components of a multi-layered security strategy, including network security, endpoint security, security awareness training, physical security, incident response, and policy and governance.
- Describe key cybersecurity regulations and guidelines issued by the OCC and the Federal Reserve, emphasizing the importance of robust cybersecurity frameworks, regular risk assessments, effective incident response plans, continuous monitoring, and threat intelligence sharing.
