Overview:
The use of wireless and mobile devices is growing dramatically in financial services,
as banks seek to capitalize on the flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness
that wireless technology provides their organizations. Yet as wireless technology
becomes more pervasive within banking – both as a tool deployed internally
for all levels of end-users, and increasingly as an interactive channel
for retail and commercial customers – the potential security risks also
are increasing.
These risks encompass both data security (protecting the
critical client and corporate information that resides on
mobile devices) and hard assets (laptops, smartphones, etc.). Laptop
theft alone accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars
in lost hardware to financial institutions – and,
as a result, the theft of billions of dollars of proprietary
information.
What kinds of investments do banks need to make in their
networks and infrastructure to not only support the proliferation
of mobile devices and wireless applications, but also to
prevent data breaches? What needs to change in terms of policy,
training and client communications to secure hard assets
and the data that resides on those assets?
Why Attend?
Participants at this Executive Roundtable discussion will
learn about technology developments that can help banks
reduce the risks of data breaches and improve the ways
the define and manage mobile/wireless-related assets.
Possible discussion points include:
- How to effectively lock down assets without compromising
productivity.
- Understanding leading-edge wireless network capabilities.
- Ensuring uptime and performance.
- The people factor – policies, training, communications.
- Dealing with the data management and infrastructure consolidation
issues that result from mergers and restructuring.
- Simplifying IT and end-user experience.
- Enabling compliance with privacy and information-sharing
requirements.
