Data Security Decoded

Three Threats Reshaping Financial Services: Identity, Supply Chain, and AI

Listen Later

Cyber resilience in financial services is often treated as a checklist of tools and controls, rather than what it truly is: a system of people, intelligence, and collaboration working together.

In this episode of ⁠Data Security Decoded⁠, join ⁠Caleb Tolin⁠ as he sits down with ⁠Troy Wells⁠, Intelligence Officer at FS-ISAC and former U.S. Army intelligence officer, to explore how principles like teamwork, trust, and preparation, forged in national security, translate directly into protecting the global financial system. From using fire-safety lessons to explain prevention, detection, and response, to breaking down the difference between AI models and AI agents, Troy shares practical guidance for banks and financial institutions building resilience in the face of evolving threats.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why prevention, detection, and response are strongest when treated as a cycle, not silos
  • How AI models act as “calculators” while AI agents act as “interns,” and what oversight each requires
  • The guardrails that financial institutions should set before deploying AI tools at scale
  • How cloud misconfigurations in even major enterprises reveal the need for security-first design
  • The three threat trends that will shape financial services in the next 12–24 months: identity attacks, supply chain compromises, and AI-enabled adversaries
