Securing the Future of Finance

FinTech Connect Financial Security & Compliance track session
2026 Track Narrative — Financial Security Day

Security teams are being asked to deliver faster decisions with less tolerance for error, all the while the blast radius for failure is greater than ever before. Financial Security Day is for the cybersecurity, economic crime and threat intelligence community to share their best practices and challenges heading into an agentic future.

2026 Track Narrative — Compliance Day

Compliance is the backbone of digital innovation for the financial sector, guiding businesses through the tough regulatory environment in 2026.
