The Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape
Abstract: The incidence of reported cybersecurity breaches has grown by more than 66% in just the past three years. And, as new technologies continue to emerge, it’s become increasingly challenging to stay ahead of cyber criminals. This is especially relevant for the financial services industry as we rely on the latest digital innovations to optimize the customer experience. Pablo Martinez, Head of Cyber Operations at Fidelity Investments, offers his insight on the changing dynamics of the global cyber threat landscape and suggestions on the preventative measures you can take to stay cyber safe.
