This episode of the Endpoints Of View podcast discusses the prevalence of cyberattacks on stock exchanges. Research by IOSCO and the World Federation of Exchanges indicates that approximately half of the world’s securities exchanges have experienced cyberattacks.

Talking points include:

• Cybersecurity vulnerabilities of stock exchanges: Stock exchanges are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can have serious consequences for market integrity and investor confidence.
• Regulatory requirements for cybersecurity: Regulatory bodies like the SEC are placing greater emphasis on cybersecurity, requiring timely reporting of incidents and robust security measures.
• Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) security: Securing privileged access workstations, particularly with “clean keyboard” solutions, is crucial for protecting sensitive data and systems.
