How to Guard Against Them 18 September 2025, 12:00 Modern Identity Threats in Financial Services

We are excited to announce our upcoming webinar, ‘Modern Threats in Financial Services | How to Guard Against Them’, which we will be hosting on Thursday 18th September 2025!

Most financial institutions already have some level of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) program in place. You’ve likely implemented controls, conducted risk assessments, and addressed many foundational challenges, but the reality is, attackers and regulators have moved on. The baseline has changed.

Threat actors are now exploiting more subtle weaknesses: under-monitored machine identities, over-permissioned service accounts, outdated third-party access that slips through reviews, and legacy entitlements that persist across cloud and hybrid environments. Meanwhile, the pace and scale of automated attacks, often AI-assisted, make it harder to rely on static controls or periodic reviews.

At the same time, regulatory pressure in the UK and EU is intensifying. With frameworks like DORA, GDPR, and the FCA’s operational resilience requirements, there’s a growing expectation that firms go beyond compliance checklists. Identity governance is now expected to be continuous, contextual, and auditable especially when it involves vendors, cloud services, or non-human actors.

Would you categorise your maturity as beginner, intermediate or advanced?

It is vital that you understand the current state of your identity security posture in order to assess shortcomings, bridge any gaps, and provide the level of protection that is both required and expected of financial institutions. You also need to know where you are headed and what the next level of security looks like, so that you can continue to provide that level of protection as the threat landscape evolves.

Do you know what you should be looking for?

The question is no longer “Do we have IAM?”, it’s now “Is our IAM ready for what’s next?”

This webinar is focused on answering this question. We’ll cover what you need to be thinking about next and what actions you should be taking to ensure your identity program keeps pace with growing risks and expectations. You’ll get practical guidance on how to assess your current maturity, address gaps, and evolve your IAM capabilities to meet both business and regulatory demands.

Our aim is to improve your identity security posture and guide you to stay ahead of the rising security concerns around this massive AI revolution we are experiencing, and ever-evolving regulatory requirements.
