In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner speaks with Andy Parsons, CyberArk’s Director of EMEA Financial Services and Insurance, whose career spans from the British Army to CISO and CTO roles in global financial institutions. Andy shares hard-earned lessons on leadership, risk management, and the evolving cybersecurity landscape in banking—from insider threats to machine identity governance and the rise of agentic AI.

Discover why “you can’t secure what you can’t see,” how manual processes fail at scale, and why treating machine identities as “first-class citizens” is no longer optional. Andy also explores the privileged access paradox, dynamic access management, and how AI is reshaping compliance, trading, and operational resilience.

Whether you're a security leader, technologist, or financial executive, this episode offers strategic insights and practical steps to future-proof your organization in an era of accelerating digital risk.
