WORKSHOP: The future of Threat Intelligence and Information Sharing for Financial Services
The Workshop will respond to important questions to address one of the most important challenges to improve Cybersecurity in the Organizations: “Threat Intelligence and Information Sharing”.
- Why Threat Intelligence and Information sharing is key to improve European resilience against Cyberattacks?
- How can enhance Incident and response in general for any sector, but specially in the Financial Sector?
- How to start, what are the different options?
For this we will count on relevant speakers coming from ENISA, INTESA SAN PAOLO, FS-ISAC, ATOS and CAIXABANK, presenting a complete view of the topic.
Topics
Threat Intelligence Information Sharing needs in the Financial Services sector
In this session it will be described the importance of information sharing in the Financial Sector, description of the benefits and alternatives as well as the future and impact of Information sharing..
Upcoming regulation changes:
DORA and NIS Preliminary overview of DORA regulation
Threat Intelligence information exchange – practitioners’ view
The platform in development in CyberSec4Europe project helps gathering information required for the incident reporting. Data collected could be shared to ease threat intelligence. We are working in connecting our platform to TI platforms to share, encrypted, useful data to detect possible threat.
