022 Follow the Money: Threat Intelligence for Financial Institutions

When you’re responsible for safeguarding the money, not to mention the personal financial information of your clients, what are your specific needs when it comes to threat intelligence? Where do you begin, and how do you get the best bang for your buck? Is open source intelligence enough, or should you invest in a paid solution from the outset? What about regulators? And how do you get buy-in from the board?
Here to answer these and many other questions is Dr. Christopher Pierson. He’s chief security officer and general counsel at Viewpost, an electronic invoice, payment, and cash management company. He also serves as a special government employee on the Department of Homeland Security Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee and Cybersecurity Subcommittee, and is a distinguished fellow of the Ponemon Institute.
