Globally, Threat Intelligence Systems have reported a near 40% increase in cyber-attacks since the start of COVID-19. The accelerated demand for agile and flexible work systems, with the necessity to ‘work from home’ and the use of Internet-based apps, have provided cyber attackers an excellent environment to exploit financial systems.
The foundation of a financial system is trust. To win the trust of their stakeholders, financial institutions must strictly preserve their confidentiality. Increase in communications and technology interdependence within the Sri Lankan financial systems makes it more vulnerable to cyber attacks. With Sri Lanka rising as a South Asian and a global financial hub, it will attract numerous cyber-attacks due to large volume of financial transactions.
The other resource persons at this webinar will be Sri Lanka CERT CEO and Sri Lanka Air Force former CITO Air Commander (Retd.) Jayasiri Amarasena, ICTA Director/Legal Advisor and Data Protection Drafting Committee Chairman Jayantha Fernando, DeltaSpike/Eguardian Principal Consultant and Founder Shihan Annon.
Areas that will be focused at this webinar will be protection against faceless Intruders, Cyber Vault in modern data centres, an overview of the proposed legislature, and Technicalities in Cyber Investigations.
The seminar is meant for IT Professionals of banks, finance and leasing companies, telecommunication companies, stockbrokers and primary dealers, other financial institutions, insurance companies and brokers, accountants, lawyers and regulators.
