Presented at the Private Wealth Management Summit 2017 held at Mumbai, India.
Security has to be considered as the foundation on which one can build a business. Gone are the days when we can build a perimeter, sit back and feel secure. In today’s digital environment we partner with others, we outsource, we have alliances, we let our customers into our systems and as we extend our networks.
In the digital economy, effective cyber security can mean the difference between a business’s success and its failure.

Protect Yourself from Cyber Attacks Through Proper Third-Party Risk ManagementDevOps.com
Cyber attacks from nation-state actors and their proxies are on the rise. Many of these attackers seek a broader scale to do more damage than simply defacing a website with embarrassing propaganda or by causing a temporary internet outage with a DDOS attack. These hackers often have significant backing and resources from their nation-state sponsors, officially or unofficially.
Increasingly, they are targeting key infrastructures such as power utilities, financial networks, hospitals, healthcare organizations, and state and local governments. A popular tactic is to come in through vendors or managed service providers where they can leverage one successful hack to access dozens of entities. This makes proper vendor and third-party risk management more important than ever.
In this webinar, “Protect Yourself from Cyber Attacks Through Proper Third-Party Risk Management” we will discuss the threats, methods and attack vectors that hackers are using, with recent examples followed by best practice areas to focus on in order to secure your organization from these types of cyberattacks.
On average organizations spend $10M+ responding to third-party security breaches each year. Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is the process of analyzing and controlling risks presented to your organization by outsourcing to third-party service providers (TPSP). TPSP relationships can introduce strategic, financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational risks.
For example, some TPSPs are involved in the storage, processing, and/or transmission of cardholder data (CHD), while others are involved in securing cardholder data, or securing the cardholder data environment (CDE).
Digital relationships with third-party providers increase opportunities for growth, but they also increase opportunities for cyberattacks — a recent study found that 61% of U.S. companies said they had experienced a data breach caused by one of their third-party providers (up 12% since 2016).
Learn more about:
• TPSP lifecycle,
• The effects of due diligence,
• The five critical control objectives, and
• How to build an effective risk assessment questionnaire.

Boutique Asset Managers: Protect Your Business and Reputation Against RisksFIS
How can boutique asset managers defend themselves against the current, dominant risks to their business? How can boutiques asset managers overcome compliance and operational hurdles?
Boutiques must demonstrate operational excellence and compliance to encourage investors, without incurring excessive cost or complexity. They need mastery over data and automation of the front office. Early adopters who develop a strategic approach to handling change, reduce the pressure associated with regulation.
In a recent survey by TABB Group, half of all participants indicated they are looking to technology providers to assist more with compliance obligations. A recent survey by Chartis found data management gaining in importance with 91 percent of respondents rated data quality as crucial.
How can you streamline operations to reduce costs, ensure good data management for greater insight, and enhance risk management to meet investor expectations?
Ensure your risk and compliance systems and processes can be easily adapted over time. You’ll need that flexibility to future-proof your organization against regulatory demands and changes yet to come.

How secure is your enterprise from threats? IBM Analytics
Modern enterprises are vulnerable to a wide range of threats that can put customers, employees and even the organization’s brand at serious risk.

This allows organizations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse threats and vulnerabilities that can put the entire enterprise at risk.
Noting that defense and national security agencies have employed this ongoing analysis and fusion approach for years, commercial organizations and civilian government agencies have begun adopting similar processes when setting up security operations centers and fusion centers. Whether you have a fusion center or are simply seeking to understand and mitigate your threats, IBM i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis can help you develop a comprehensive approach to enterprise intelligence with which you can neutralize the threats that menace your enterprise.

In the domain of data science, solving problems and answering questions through data analysis is standard practice. Data scientists experiment continuously by constructing models to predict outcomes or discover underlying patterns, with the goal of gaining new insights. Organizations can then use these insights to strengthen customer relationships, improve service delivery and drive new opportunities. To help guide the processes and activities within a given domain, data scientists and engineers need a foundational methodology that provides a framework for how to proceed with whichever methods or tools they will use to obtain answers and deliver results. In this presentation, we will share data science tips for data engineers.

“Many plan participants maintain their own
compensation tracking documents that
they use to double-check their compensation
departments’ calculations.”

the sales rep and compensation manager around
payment accuracy; it also means sales reps are
wasting potential “selling time.”
