Cyber Defense: Private Funds & Banks

An interview with Michelle A. Reed

PODCAST STYLE 🎧

As banks and investment funds implement more technology into their activities, cybersecurity risks multiply. The financial industry is in many ways the ultimate target for cybercrime as hackers seek access to the fortunes they control and the sensitive and lucrative information that they protect.  Unfortunately, with the advent of advanced persistent threats (“APT”) and the growing volume of attacks being launched, a cybersecurity breach for most companies is now a matter of “when” rather than “if.” Akin Gump partner Michelle Reed explains common and surprising cyberattack techniques, best practices for cyber defense, and the steps regulators are now taking to bolster the financial world in a digital war against cyber criminals and hostile nation states.
