convenience, globalization, technological innovation and security. As new
players are entering the market at an astounding rate, fintechs and Big Tech
companies – such as Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook – vying for market
dominance. Through this panel we will take a look in understanding the new

research indicates that the BFSI sector is starting to shift focus from audits to
more proactive cybersecurity strategies such as implementing new tools and
increased investment in staff training. In this inclusive session, we will have the
audiences divided in a group of 8 each. Each group will be given different
challenges. Every group will have around 15 mins to deliberate on the given
topic and find solutions to the challenges. After 15 mins each group will get
come on the stage and share their thoughts with the audiences at large. For
this we will have a facilitator who will drive this session. Few of the challenges
that would be discussed are:
• Can cyber risk appetite be adjusted, given the threats they face?
• What is the most efficient manner to allocate resources to address current
threats?
• What should the organization spend its cybersecurity budget on?
• Where is the largest potential for risk reduction Vs spend?
The challenge for BFSI organisations to secure their critical assets has never
been greater. The continued growth of the attack surface, driven by cloud,
M&A and third-party networks presents a huge set of issues which CISO’s need
