Episode Details

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the fourth Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event at Kontakt der Kontinenten in Soesterberg, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss one of the defining challenges for the financial sector: building cyber resilience in an increasingly uncertain world.

Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Rudrani Djwalapersad (Partner, Cyber Security Financial Services, EY), Ricardo Ferreira (Field CISO EMEA, Fortinet), Deepak Rambhadja (Sales Engineer, Rubrik), and Marcel van Leent (Security Leader, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank).

Together, they discuss why cybersecurity has become a board-level topic, how AI is changing both the offensive and defensive side of cyber, and why organisations need to move beyond compliance checklists towards true resilience. They also reflect on lessons from Ukraine's largest bank, the importance of automation, data governance and public-private partnerships, and why resilience ultimately depends as much on people, collaboration and culture as it does on technology. And looking ahead: how can organisations move from awareness to action, break down silos, and bring more business leaders into the cybersecurity conversation?

A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Cybersecurity Event.
