About the Event
This webinar brings together former banking practitioners and cybersecurity specialists from Check Point and Illumio to examine how leading financial institutions across Asia-Pacific are rethinking their approach to cyber defense. The session moves beyond prevention-focused strategies to explore how banks are integrating containment, detection and response capabilities into cohesive security architectures.
Speakers will share industry observations and practical experiences from working with banks navigating increasingly sophisticated threat environments. The discussion addresses how financial institutions can maintain operational continuity during security incidents while meeting regulatory obligations.
Cyber Resilience in Complex Hybrid Environments
A central theme of the event is the shift from prevention-only security models toward architectures that assume breach and prioritize containment. The discussion covers strategies for limiting lateral movement within networks, a critical capability when attackers gain initial access to banking infrastructure. This approach recognizes that expanding attack surfaces and threats accelerated by frontier AI require financial institutions to contain incidents rapidly rather than relying solely on perimeter defenses.
The session examines how banks can protect critical services while operating in complex hybrid environments where traditional security boundaries have dissolved.
Regulatory Context Across Asia-Pacific
The webinar addresses regulatory compliance requirements from three major Asia-Pacific financial regulators: the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA). These regulators have increasingly emphasized operational resilience alongside traditional cybersecurity controls, requiring banks to demonstrate they can continue delivering critical services during and after cyber incidents.
Who Should Attend
The event targets senior cybersecurity professionals, CISOs, IT security leaders, risk managers and executives within banks and financial institutions operating in the Asia-Pacific region. Decision-makers responsible for cyber risk management, regulatory compliance and operational resilience will find the content most relevant.
