Financial Services RT: Cybersecurity concerns and solutions for small to mid-market financial organizations ft. SideChannel

Join The Worcester Chamber of Commerce and members of the Financial Services industry as we host Brian Haugli, Managing Partner of SideChannel to discuss cybersecurity concerns and solutions for Worcester-area small to mid-market financial services sector companies.

Organizations across the financial services industry are especially vulnerable to cyberattacks.  As we become more connected and rely on digital means to deliver services, we open ourselves up to an increasing amount of cyber risk. This is especially true for banks and other financial institutions. ATMs, websites, mobile apps, and more serve as gateways for cybercriminals. But convenience can’t be a substitute for security. As we move from paper to paperless, it’s not enough to just respond to incidents. Organizations need a proactive cybersecurity strategy. Customers need to trust that their most valuable data is protected. A focus needs to be made to develop effective cybersecurity solutions that enhance processes, improve posture, and enable great digital experiences for customers.

Brian Haugli has been driving security programs for two decades and brings a true practitioner’s approach to the industry. He creates a more realistic way to address information security and data protection issues for organizations. He has led programs for the DoD, Pentagon, Intelligence Community, Fortune 500, and many others. Brian is a renowned speaker and expert on NIST guidance, threat intelligence implementations, and strategic organizational initiatives.

Brian is the contributing author for the latest book from Wiley, “Cybersecurity Risk Management: Mastering the Fundamentals Using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework“.

Lastly, he is a professor at Boston College, in the Woods College of Advancing Studies, Master’s Program in Cybersecurity.
