Cybersecurity and ITCybersecurity and Risk Management in Capital Markets
Market infrastructure is a concentrated target: an exchange, a clearing house or a custodian sits between a very large number of counterparties, and an outage propagates faster than any recovery plan. This course covers security and operational resilience for capital markets participants. Delegates work through the threat landscape specific to trading and settlement, third party and vendor concentration risk, the security of trading and order management systems, and the operational resilience expectations supervisors now apply. Incident response is treated as a market event rather than a technical one, since the decision that matters during an outage is whether to keep trading.
