As the way we work and live becomes more dependent on digital-first interactions, the risk of cybercriminals converting our ability to connect into opportunities to attack increases. The cybersecurity burden weighs even heavier on wealth managers trusted to protect the sensitive personal information of end clients — information that could lead to ruin if passive policies leave gaps in your firm's defense. Raising the already high stakes is an environment of evolving cybersecurity regulations and increased fiduciary responsibilities. Be it the SEC, FINRA, state regulators or another agency, wealth managers need to keep an eye on both potential threats; and a set of rules and regulations that can change on a dime. 

So how can advisors meet the industry's ever-evolving cybersecurity demands to keep their clients and their business safe? In this session, nationally recognized cybersecurity expert and FCI CEO Brian Edelman will sit down with Financial Planning Wealthtech Reporter Justin L. Mack to discuss the state of cybersecurity in wealth management; the biggest cybersecurity challenges advisory firms are facing today; and how to take a more active role in your firm's efforts to stay protected.
